Cornell Engineering

Have you ever wondered how research works at Cornell Engineering? We've put together a video guide to help you get to know us! See our labs, meet our faculty and students, and learn why research matters. engineering.cornell.edu/pacemaker-of-p…

After more than five years of work supported by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Jeffrey Moses, Ph.D. ’07, felt his team was on the cusp of significant progress developing an advanced laser that could be useful for national defense and a host of civilian applications.…

Research at risk: A @CornellEng team was on the cusp of significant progress developing an advanced laser useful for military and civilian applications, but a stop-work order from @USNavyResearch prevented final experiments from proceeding. news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/0…

The Earth’s surface is ready for its closeup. When the NASA-ISRO SAR satellite launches into orbit on July 30, it will ping nearly all of the planet’s land and ice surfaces with a form of imaging called synthetic aperture radar twice every 12 days. The radar will capture ground…

Focusing on the Nipah virus, a multi-institutional team with Professor Neha Kamat has developed a cell-free system to rapidly design and test vaccine candidates, advancing efforts to strengthen global pandemic preparedness by working outside living cells. spr.ly/6011fEsNh

"My work seeks to address this gap and reduce the burdens of this injury for all peoples." Read about biomedical engineering doctoral graduate Marguerite Pacheco and her work on tendon healing: gradschool.cornell.edu/spotlights/stu… @CornellBME @CornellEng

The secret to how steel hardens and shape-memory alloys snap into place lies in rapid, atomic-scale shifts that scientists have struggled to observe in materials. Now, Cornell researchers are revealing how these transformations unfold, particle by particle, through advanced…

Does one marathon sound taxing? Try seven — worldwide — in a week. That’s exactly what @CornellEng alumnus Alan Nawoj ’01 did, completed a grueling event that started in snow and ice and ended six days later in sunny Miami. Read more at alumni.cornell.edu/cornellians/ma….

Using custom computer simulations, @CornellEng researchers have visualized solid-solid phase transitions in unprecedented detail, capturing the motion of every particle in a theoretical material as its crystal structure morphs into another. @PNASNews @NSF news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/0…

EAS Professor Britney Schmidt and Icefin have been able to show that ocean water in this region of Greenland is almost two degrees warmer than it was less than 10 years ago. @CornellEng @Cornell @NASA forbes.com/sites/brucedor…

Calling @Cornell faculty 📢 Today we launch **four** new funding opportunities at Cornell Atkinson to support bold, interdisciplinary work that advances real-world solutions. ℹ️ Explore the funding opportunities: atkinson.cornell.edu/grants/

Cornell’s student bridge team designed a 23-ft steel bridge weighing just 216 lbs and holding 2,500 lbs with help from the @LASSP_Cornell Student Machine Shop. They earned top @aischonors in lightness, stiffness & structural economy. Read more: bit.ly/44ZyKJE

Applications are now open for our 2026 Postdoctoral Fellowships! Join our cohort of early-career scholars committed to discovery that contributes directly to solving the most pressing problems facing our planet. Apply by 10/20 — and please share widely: atkinson.cornell.edu/cornell-atkins…

Geological sciences doctoral student Pascal Caraccioli Salinas and applied physics doctoral candidate Joshua Luoma were awarded fellowships by the U.S. Department of Energy. Read more: gradschool.cornell.edu/announcements/… @CornellEng

“Supply chain optimization” may sound cold and technocratic, but for Peter Frazier, the Eleanor and Howard Morgan Professor of operations research and information engineering in @CornellEng, his research is ultimately about people. Frazier has been heading up a team, funded by…

Researchers @Cornell have found that peaceful microbes are more likely to thrive, and their more aggressive peers perish, if their environment is harsh or experiences violent disruptions. @PNASNews @CornellEng @CornellCAS @NIH @NSF @AFOSR news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/0…

Research at Risk: Supply chain optimization keeps blood transfusions flowing “It’s about Marines who need their equipment in order to survive and be effective. And it’s about the people who make that happen.” -- Peter Frazier, @Cornell_ORIE youtu.be/LS7-OyQD-PE?fe…

This fall, Alpha CubeSat, a small student-built satellite, is scheduled to be rocketed to the International Space Station (ISS). It’s not the only space-bound student experiment. Also launching to the ISS, in late summer, is a related project, Sailing to the Stars, in which six…
