NSF Safety, Security and Rescue Research Center

An NSF I/UCRC is a consortium of companies and universities working on industry-relevant medium-term research of interest to all parties. The SSR-RC is focused on the emerging field of Safety, Security, and Rescue Research, which includes a variety of topics in homeland security and emergency preparedness and response. As a true cooperative venture, university researchers, member company executives, and invited public safety officials play a role in the selection of research projects the Center pursues.  To learn more visit http://www.engr.du.edu/ssrrc

Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics

The Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics applies engineering principles to investigate clinically relevant issues. Using a combination of experimental and computational tools, the Center performs research in joint mechanics, human motion, musculoskeletal modeling, modeling fluid-solid interactions, wearable sensor systems, and implant device testing.

Partner Laboratories:

• Computational Biomechanics Lab
• Human Dynamics Lab
• Probabilistic Mechanics Lab
• Biofluids Lab
• Biomaterials and Testing

The faculty is committed to student experiences at all levels: undergraduate, MS, PhD and post-doctoral fellows. Graduate students within the program can complete the PhD in Mechanical Engineering and MS in Mechanical Engineering or Bioengineering degrees.

Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering

History:

The center was established in 2007 to conduct nano-science related research between several departments of the University of Denver.  To learn more visit http://nano.du.edu

Goals:

• Conduct state-of-the-art research in the area of nanoscience and nanoengineering.
• Offer state-of-the-art undergraduate and graduate education in the above area.

Objectives:

• The Center will create a forum for major research interactions among researchers from several departments at DU.
• Will provide strong "moral support" for junior faculty 

Center for Advanced Materials and Structures

This center was established in 1996 to conduct collaborative research between the Departments of Engineering, Physics & Astronomy, and Chemistry & Biochemistry. Between 1996 and the present, the Center has graduated 7 PhDs and several Master students. Approximately 70 major journal publications have been published based on research performed by the Center. The Center has been heavily supported by the National Science Foundation, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the NASA Glenn Research Center, the Electric Power Research Institute, and various US electric utilities.
