Research is aimed at developing cutting-edge technology using chiroptical spectroscopy for drug-tissue interaction analysis.

The three federal awards boost funding for fuel cell and hydrogen technologies research at Mines, reflecting growing support in the U.S. for their potential to provide sustainable domestic energy with net zero emissions.

Department of Energy creates ambitious program to reduce carbon emissions by 50 to 52 percent by the end of the decade, secure a 100 percent clean electrical grid by 2035 and reach a net-zero carbon economy by 2050.

At Mines, researchers are developing control systems that expand the scope of renewable and hybrid energy technologies, including fuel cells and wind turbines.

Endowed by Mines alum Ben Fryrear ‘62, the chair recognizes and supports highly accomplished Mines faculty members working to further the vision and mission of the university.

What is exciting about our roadmap is that it considers community acceptance and sustainable development from the very first stages of design, rather than after a project has been fully planned,” said Jessica Smith, professor of engineering, design and society at Mines.

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.

Why did you choose to come to Mines? What have you enjoyed most about being here? I came to Mines because I knew it was the best place for me at this point in my life. I visited campus for a science

Why did you choose to come to Mines? What have you enjoyed most about being here? I feel very, very fortunate to be at Mines. I returned to school in my thirties to pursue a career as an engineer

“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.
