Christian Reyna will be graduating in May with a degree in Biomedical Engineering (BME). He chose that program because it will allow him "to make a life-changing (literally) impact on lives."

A Case Western Reserve scientist is working on a sustainable way to chemically transform so-called “rare earth” minerals into metals for renewable energy applications. If successful, the new process could one day help increase American production of the metals, which are now primarily imported from China.

Just a few miles from campus is Lake Erie—the source of Cleveland’s drinking water, a prime spot for outdoor activity and, at Case Western Reserve, a hotbed for research. Huichun (Judy) Zhang, the Frank H. Neff Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Case School of Engineering, specializes in environmental chemistry and engineering and has conducted considerable research on Lake Erie.

Students at Case Western Reserve University are challenged to “think beyond the possible” each and every day—and third-year PhD student Kathryn Wilcox takes that mission to heart.

Dustin Tyler invited to White House as part of announcement of new federal agency to push for biomedical breakthroughs

Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have developed an inexpensive way to transform an ordinary shirt into an electronic smart shirt—one able to monitor and adjust body temperature or even allow the wearer to apply heat to a sore shoulder or back.

The late 1980s brought a number of single and multiple investigator grants, including equipment grants, enabled rapid initial modernization and upgrading of the Advanced Manufacturing and Mechanical Reliability Center (AMMRC

The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) recently announced the election of Umut Gurkan, the Warren E. Rupp Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, to its College of Fellows.

Biomedical researchers at Case Western Reserve University report that their latest innovation in developing synthetic platelets could help save lives by rapidly stabilizing clots to reduce blood loss from traumatic injuries. This new effort centers on the creation of next-generation, platelet-mimicking nanoparticles.

Former Dean Tom Kicher (CIT ’59; GRS ’62, mechanical engineering; GRS ’65, engineering), a long-serving faculty member and a shaper of the modern Case School of Engineering, died Feb. 19 at the age of 84. Widely known as the engineering school's elder statesman, Kicher joined “the Case family,” as he called it, as a student some 65 years ago and went on to serve the institution as a teacher, researcher, administrator and change agent.

Case Western Reserve University research aligns with Biden Administration order to increase domestic sources for metals—especially for clean-energy uses

Ever wondered how engineering plays into your daily life? Engineers design machinery, skyscrapers, public works and so much more—and you’ll be able to see their work on a smaller scale at Case Western Reserve University this week.

From early-morning practices and treks up the “Elephant Stairs” to overcoming five knee injuries and four surgeries, Grace Yeung has pushed through plenty of struggles in her time as a student-athlete. Through them all, she’s considered competing as a Spartan to be a key component of her Case Western Reserve experience.

Three distinguished members of the Case Western Reserve University faculty—Susann Brady-Kalnay, Paul Tesar and Satish Viswanath—have been elected among 83 “of the world’s best emerging academic inventors” to the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) 2022 class of Senior Members.

Two teams of Case Western Reserve University chemical engineering PhD students recently walked away with a trio of top awards in a competition with dozens of other aspiring scientists—in brewing beer.
