When Case Western Reserve research showed that artificial intelligence (AI) could identify which lung cancer patients would benefit from chemotherapy, a national magazine called the finding one of the “10 Most Incredible Medical Breakthroughs of 2018.” Four years later, the university has signed an exclusive license agreement with Picture Health that aims to turn the promise of such AI tools into a reality that ultimately benefits patients around the globe.

Robert Gao has a vast international educational background. After growing up in Beijing, China, and completing his undergraduate degree there, he studied in Germany for graduate school and then moved to the United States, where he’s worked at various universities for more than 30 years.

Ankit Sharma, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Case Western Reserve University, was one of four early career researchers selected worldwide for the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) Foundation Grand Challenges Initiative with a fellowship of $5,000.

Youngjin Yoo, professor of design and innovation, and Erman Ayday, assistant professor in the Department of Computer and Data Sciences, were awarded a one-year, $250,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation to develop a report identifying key socio-technical challenges and principles to design and implement a universal learning and employment record (LER) ecosystem. 

Case Western Reserve University biorobotics pioneers Hillel Chiel and Roger Quinn join scientist alum Vickie Webster-Wood from Carnegie Mellon on new project. The researchers are mainly focused on further improving what they and other researchers call “soft graspers,” robotic limbs that can pick a peach or mushroom, for example, without damaging it.

Matthew Willard, professor of materials science and engineering at Case Western Reserve University, helped lead the 15th Joint Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM) – International Magnetics (Intermag) Conference in January.

Stephen Timothy will be graduating in May with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He chose that program because "I've always had a knack for building things, math, and science."

Elahe Farghadany will be graduating in May with a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering. She is looking forward to a career in which she can promote sustainability.  

Kathryn Medrow will be graduating in May with a degree in Polymer Science & Engineering with a minor in Biomedical Engineering and Music. She passed on this advice to those who come after: "If you want to pursue something, whether it’s a certain major, activity, research, or sport, don’t let the fear of failing stop you from trying."

Xinming Wang will be graduating in May with a degree in Biomedical Engineering (BME). He chose that program because he was "very interested in tissue engineering and would like to do scientific research in the future."

Lindsey Ho will be graduating in May with a Major in Chemical Engineering and Minor in Dance. She chose those program because it will allow him "I wanted to be able to study both of my interests in some form: engineering and dance!"

Claire Telfer will be graduating in May with a degree in Biomedical Engineering (BME) with a minor in Chemistry. She chose those programs because she was "particularly excited about the intersection of chemical engineering and medicine."

After he graduates in May, Raj will be headed to California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to pursue a PhD in Chemical Engineering.

Case Western Reserve University scientist Svetlana Morozova, whose research explores the unique properties and possibilities of polymer gels, has been awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) grant to further examine how they interact with the surfaces of other materials.
