We’re excited to welcome five new faculty to help advance student achievement and lead transformational engineering and technology research.

Cody Friesen is one of three ASU faculty members named to the August 2020 class of National Academy of Inventors senior members.

Karl Sieradzki and colleagues at other leading research universities will explore ways to engineer more corrosion resistant metal alloys.

A soft robotics exosuit designed to assist with rehabilitation of the foot and ankle. The project, led by Fulton Schools students Marielle Debeurre, Tiffany Hertzell and Carly Thalman along with Assistant Professor Hyunglae Lee, was awarded the top prize at the WearRA Innovation Challenge earlier this year.

Graduate students passionate about research and innovation take advantage of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program to study at ASU and beyond.

Students in the ASU Grand Challenges Scholars Program prepare to address global concerns through competencies that impart an ability to see the big picture, consider all aspects of a problem and create value for society.

Arizona State University engineer Konrad Rykaczewski has created a design for a cooling vest to keep wearers comfortable in scorching conditions.

Sze Zheng Yong is developing control synthesis tools that can reason about real-world uncertainties to make autonomous systems, such as self-driving vehicles and drones, safe and secure in work supported by an NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER)...

Kristen Eckman is a profoundly driven person. She is graduating from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering this spring with three bachelor’s degrees. She then will return this fall to complete a master’s degree in aerospace engineering by next May. Read more on...
