UI engineering professors Suresh M.L. Raghavan and Syed Mubeen developed a portable oxygen concentrator.

The University of Iowa, led by Professor Jun Wang, will play a leading role in a, up to, $355 million space mission called STRIVE that is designed to help NASA better understand Earth and improve capabilities to foresee environmental events and mitigate disasters.

University of Iowa staffer details experience flying in Aero L-29 Delfin trainer jet with the Operator Performance Laboratory. In full flight suit, strapped into one of OPLs oldest birds with a parachute attached to my seat, we bank east. Off the right wing, a second L-29 and a Beechcraft Bonanza slide into echelon formation.

Several new honors and scholarships have been named after longtime University of Iowa engineering professor Hosin “David” Lee, a testament to a career of achievement and contributions to the field of sustainable transportation infrastructure.

Jonah Marks, a University of Iowa PhD candidate in chemical and biochemical engineering, created a better way for scientists to find "transition states" in chemical reactions that are essential to design new medicines, better catalysts, and advanced materials.

Researchers at the University of Iowa have found they can bend high-tech lasers without sacrificing performance – a key milestone in bringing advanced laser systems into hospitals, labs, and fieldwork.
