Fulton School Professor Receives Prestigious Academy Membership
Subhash Mahajan, professor and chair of the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University, has been elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering, one of the most prestigious honors awarded to an engineer.
An election to the NAE represents an individual's “outstanding contributions to engineering research, practice, or education.” Mahajan was selected for this honor for...
Ground-Breaking Therapeutics for Parkinson's
After watching his father struggle with and ultimately succumb to Alzheimer's disease (AD), ASU professor Dr. Michael Sierks shifted his research focus from starch hydrolyzing to neurodegenerative diseases.
“It's a terrible disease, so I started thinking if there was anything I could do,” recalls Sierks, who is an associate professor of chemical and materials engineering in the Ira A. Fulton School...
Novel Bioelectronic Signatures to Identify DNA Mutations
A new method to identify DNA mutations may shepherd in a future era of small, portable, electronic devices for the rapid screening and identification of genes that harbor disease.
Joseph Wang, director of the Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors at the Biodesign Institute at ASU, led a team effort that successfully merged efforts in the fields of biosensors, electronics, and nanotechnology to fashion nanocrystals that...
New Results for Composite Materials
Stress. Strain. Fatigue. Cracking. The forces that often bring our blood pressures to boil can also be the bane of existence for scientists developing new materials for structural applications.
With the increasing demands for stronger, lighter, and more reliable materials, composite materials are emerging as the materials of choice. These materials are a "composite" of two or more materials: the reinforcement...
