School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering

A WSU faculty member since 1997, Amit Bandyopadhyay conducts research in the areas of additive manufacturing or 3D printing of advanced materials.

Lloyd Smith, a professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, has been named a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The technique uses a liquid mold that can be manipulated with magnets to create lenses in a variety of shapes and sizes.

The plant-based material surpasses the insulation capabilities of Styrofoam, is very lightweight and can support up to 200 times its weight without changing shape. 

The Joint Center for Deployment and Research in Earth Abundant Materials (JCDREAM) has announced a new director to lead the group.

Arda Gozen focuses on biomaterials, advanced manufacturing and 3D printing, and Janardhan Rao (Jana) Doppa researches machine learning with a special focus on data-driven science and engineering.

The ship Konstantin Matveev is designing would use air pumped underneath the hull to reduce drag, enabling higher speeds and decreased fuel consumption.

New 3D‑printed sensor technology developed by WSU scientists has applications in prosthetics, robotics and more.

WSU researchers are working on methods to reduce carbon emissions entering the atmosphere by separating carbon dioxide out of industrial processes.

Delivering drugs and therapies into cells at the nanoscale helps eliminate toxic effects that have stymied similar efforts.
