Andrea Vacca, professor of agricultural and biological engineering (ABE) and mechanical engineering, has received the 2019 Joseph Bramah Medal, conferred virtually during the Bath/ASME Symposium on Fluid Power and Motion Control.

A Purdue University student with dual majors in aeronautical and astronautical engineering and aerospace financial analysis has been selected as a 2020 Astronaut Scholar.

Research from Purdue University mechanical engineers is driving clean air changes in California and could lead to landmark vehicle emissions changes across the United States.

New patented technologies from Purdue engineers are designed to improve the performance of handheld optical sensors used for food safety detection and water quality analysis.

Purdue has launched the new Center for Innovation in Control, Optimization and Networks (ICON), with the aim of developing foundational knowledge and advanced techniques for controlling and optimizing complex, connected, dynamical systems.

For quantum optical technologies to become more practical, there is a need for large-scale integration of quantum photonic circuits on chips.

Shaimaa I. Azzam, who earned her PhD in summer 2020 from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the field of nanophotonics, has been awarded a 2020 Dimitris N. Chorafas Foundation award.

Soft robots are built with compliant materials, such as those that give organisms in the wild the flexibility to navigate and adapt to their environments — compliance meaning the ability to yield elastically and deform shape in response to an impediment or force.

A team led by Zubin Jacob, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University, has won a DARPA QUEST award.
The DARPA QUEST program seeks to understand how quantum vacuum fluctuations can be controlled and altered inside matter.
