Two UWM researchers have won a grant to study ways to improve the efficiency and precision of removing PFAS compounds from water. Yin Wang, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, and Xiaoli Ma, associate professor of materials science and engineering, are investigators on the two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Defense. In the […]

Engineering is more than high-level tinkering—it’s the art of imagining what doesn’t yet exist and building it into reality. It’s a bold blend of imagination and precision, where ideas leap off the page and into the world. No longer limited to mechanics or chemicals, today’s ever-expanding engineering universe spans everything from aerospace to biomedical—and at […]

Dean’s Distinguished Fellowship supports life-changing student experience — and potentially, life-saving science When Joe Toce ran a biochemistry company in St. Louis over two decades ago, one elusive molecule stood out. His team had long sought to synthesize it — a small organic compound with big potential to revolutionize blood-thinning medications used to prevent strokes, […]

With ever more electric vehicles on the road, regulators and automakers are considering what can be done with the millions of batteries that power EVs after they’re spent. Even when their useful life is over, EV batteries contain valuable lithium that could theoretically be recycled and used in new batteries, but coming up with a […]

Time was running out for a University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh alumna who applied a third time for a coveted Fulbright Scholarship. Ariana Blair, a 2021 UWO graduate, earned a prestigious Fulbright award to work toward a master’s degree in Peace Studies. “This was going to be my last year of applying,” said Ariana Blair, a 2021 […]
