The Office of Academic Affairs at Colorado School of Mines is proud to announce the winners of the 2021-2022 Faculty Awards for excellence in teaching, research and mentorship.

The Colorado School of Mines Board of Trustees has awarded promotions and/or tenure to 19 Mines faculty members for the 2022-2023 academic year. Additionally, five Mines faculty members were granted

Ivar Reimanis is the new head of the George S. Ansell Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Colorado School of Mines.

Gabriela Blanchard, a chemical engineering major, and Mason Weems, a metallurgical and materials engineering major, will each receive a scholarship from the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF), as well as mentorship and professional development opportunities throughout the year.

“Quantum technologies are poised to revolutionize how we compute, communicate and sense and this requires engineers that have an interdisciplinary education,” Mines' Peter Aaen said.

Together with colleagues at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory, the Mines researchers hope to identify an economically viable process window for increasing steel product copper tolerances.

Allison Mis was among 78 graduate students from 26 states selected for the Office of Science Graduate Student Research Program.

A new quantum engineering minor at Colorado School of Mines will give undergraduate students the opportunity to gain exposure to quantum theory and hands-on experience with relevant hardware and prepare for careers in the rapidly evolving field of quantum technology.
