Fatima Toor, a University of Iowa Technology Institute (ITI) researcher, was recognized as a "Community Champion" by a leading scientific community for her involvement throughout 2019 and multiple contributions as an author, guest editor, and associate editor.

Two University of Iowa Technology Institute faculty affiliates are among eight faculty members from the College of Engineering (COE) to receive named professorships and chairs, which are among the highest university honors faculty members can receive.

University of Iowa Electrical and Computer Engineering and Neurology researchers developed an algorithm to detect Parkinson’s Disease in patients using electroencephalography data.

National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS) Director Daniel McGehee made recommendations for human subjects testing in driving research for the COVID-19 era to the Transportation Research Board (TRB), during its mid-year meeting earlier this month.

Professor Christoph Beckermann will be working alongside a team at NASA to observe metal alloy grains as they are melted in a mirco-gravity furnace.

Signal processing and machine learning algorithms being developed by Ananya Sen Gupta at the University of Iowa Technology Institute (ITI) could offer solutions to real-time marine sensing using underwater acoustics.

A team led by Soura Dasgupta, F. Wendell Miller Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Nandakumar Narayanan, Juanita J. Bartlett Professor in Neurology Research at the University of Iowa has developed a computational approach to diagnosing Parkinson’s Disease by using data from electroencephalogram tests, commonly referred to as EEGs.

Fiegel and her team examined how exhaled bioaerosols—droplets produced from the lung during breathing, coughing, and sneezing—are produced from lung-like surfaces during a cough. The findings were recently published in Soft Matter in a paper titled, “Surface rheological properties alter aerosol formation from mucus mimetic surfaces.”

Levi Kirby, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and a graduate research assistant for the University of Iowa Technology Institute, has received the E. Wayne Kay Graduate Scholarship from the Society for Manufacturing Engineers (SME).

University of Iowa scholars are designing polymers to help maintain the effectiveness of drugs once they enter the lungs of patients.
