Xiong "Bill" Yu, PhD, is applying artificial intelligence (AI) and mixed-reality visualization tools to better understand—and someday possibly fix—the legacy problems of leaky municipal water systems and crumbling highway bridges.

Satish Viswanath, associate professor of biomedical engineering at Case School of Engineering, traveled to Malaysia in August as part of the Fulbright Specialist Program. During his two-week placement at Multimedia University in Cyberjaya, Viswanath’s work centered on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital pathology—two topics that closely align with his work at Case Western Reserve.

A team of researchers at Case Western Reserve University is part of a national effort to “reimagine” steel production, developing an innovative and low-cost process that could replace blast furnaces for ironmaking. If successful, officials at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) believe the effort could reduce greenhouse gas emissions in steelmaking by as much 85%.

Miguel Zubizarreta (CWR ‘90) likes to be part of projects from the beginning. In the early 1990s he collaborated with the founder of a small startup to create a new software solution that launched Hyland Software’s journey to becoming a thriving global enterprise. Now Zubizarreta and his family are among the first to support another promising effort: Case Western Reserve University's Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building.

With a new five-year, $3.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a Case Western Reserve University researcher is leading a project to expand and accelerate the evolution of personalized medicine in treating diseases.

From Oct. 26 through 28, 12 members from the CWRU Society of Women Engineerings headed to Los Angeles, California for WE23—the world's largest conference for women in engineering and technology. Here's what SWE's communication director and third-year biomedical engineering student, Saloni Baral, shared about the experience. 

In recognition of First-Generation College Celebration Day on Nov. 8, we spoke with Kianna Sabrina Verdugo, a first-generation student at Case Western Reserve, to learn more about their experiences.

The familiar tune of The Jackson 5’s 1970 hit, “ABC,” flows through the speakers in the basement of the Mather Memorial Building. Jago Dorn, a second-year undergraduate student majoring in systems and control engineering at Case Western Reserve University, is the only one in the room to hear it. That is, except for all of WRUW 91.1 FM’s listeners—both over the airwaves and the station’s online livestream.

Aidan Klemm is taking his research to the next level. In January, he will head to Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee as a part of the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). 

Hard work, determination, a rigorous mindset, attention to detail and group effort. Those are just a few of the qualities it took for the Case Western Reserve University Baja SAE team to bring home first place at the most recent competition—shattering university records. 

Sometimes all it takes to fall in love with reading is the right book. That’s why fourth-year electrical engineering student Albert Wilhelmy launched Book I Own (BIO), an outreach program that gives books to local third and fourth graders that match their interests. 

Designed specifically for faculty interested in exploring entrepreneurship as a path to market for their research, the Veale Faculty Fellowship program welcomes eight fellows this year, four from the Case School of Engineering. Discover the project they’ll be focused on, what innovation means to them and what gets them excited about the crossroads of research and entrepreneurship. 

A group of Case School of Engineering students are bringing power to isolated parts of Malawi in Africa. In Kasakula, a village just outside of the Kasungu National Park where Case Western Reserve University students brought power to park ranger living quarters in 2021, a Humanitarian Design Corps team is putting the finishing touches on a solar powered community charging station.

Growing up in Akron in the 1940s and ’50s, Frank Linsalata and his older brother, Ralph, likely didn’t give much thought to words like “interdisciplinary.” But at the school that would later become Case Western Reserve University, the two still developed the diverse skill sets that define the term—with Frank (CIT ‘63) studying mechanical engineering and Ralph (CIT ‘60) earning his degree in electrical engineering.

Whether strategizing how to tackle building renovations, helping facilitate biomedical research or performing music at venues across Cleveland, William “Bill” Marx was often known as a jack of all trades. Now, members of the Case Western Reserve University are remembering this multifaceted staff member after Marx died earlier this month. He was 68.
