Professor Karin Wuertz-Kozak is developing gene and cell therapies that may be the next step in tissue regeneration, a type of noninvasive treatment that could control the molecular mechanisms contributing to pain, mostly inflammation.

Spectrum News speaks with Ed Hensel, associate dean for graduate programs in RIT's Kate Gleason College of Engineering, about a $4.8 million FDA-funded study using new technology to monitor real-world vaping behaviors and better understand how e-cigarette users consume nicotine.

As an incident commander, Laura Faria helps lead investigations, coordinates response efforts, and works alongside forensic engineers to understand how attackers gained access and moved through a network.

As a service engineer for Abbott in Detroit, Michael Kormos provides electrical anatomical mapping to locate and navigate heart arrhythmias and tissue damage.

WROC-TV speaks with Risa Robinson, professor of mechanical engineering at RIT, about research showing that e-cigarette users may vape more frequently and take deeper puffs when using lower-nicotine products, potentially increasing their exposure to harmful chemicals and raising questions about nicotine regulation.

WHAM-TV highlights RIT engineering students participating in a Halloween-themed pumpkin launching competition at the University of Rochester, using handmade catapults, trebuchets, and air cannons to put their engineering skills into practice.

The Conversation features an essay by Tori Russell, biomedical and chemical engineering Ph.D. candidate; Karin Wuertz-Kozak, Harvey J. Palmer Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering; and Maureen Ferran, professor of biology, exploring how physical forces and tissue stiffness influence viral infections and how this research could lead to better treatments.

RIT researchers are studying real-world e-cigarette use to better understand nicotine exposure and inform future testing standards.

When the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory needed multiple stands that could each support up to 45,000 pounds of superconducting magnets in limited space, an RIT student designed the solution.

Tech Briefs highlights RIT researchers Mohammad-Ali Miri, associate professor of electrical and microelectronic engineering, and Kevin Zelaya Mendoza, post doctoral fellow, and their work on a programmable microwave-integrated circuit that uses analog computing to perform complex calculations at high speeds with potential applications in communications, radar, sensing, and space technologies.

RIT undergraduate electrical engineering student Aiden Morris has received a prestigious SMART Scholarship which he hopes will position him for a civilian career with the U.S. military.

A day of problem-solving, machining, and microelectronics gave future engineers a look at university-level research.
