Mechanical engineering chair honored with IEEE Distinguished Service Award

Jeff Suhling, Quina Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has been awarded the William Chen Distinguished Service Award from the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS). The award annually recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the EPS through service and leadership. It was, to say the least, well deserved.

Multiaxial fatigue and fracture expert joins NCAME

One of the nation's leading experts in multiaxial fatigue and fracture mechanics has made the move to Auburn.

Mechanical engineering professor emeritus honored for groundbreaking NSF research aboard ISS

Even in retirement, mechanical engineering professor emeritus Sushil Bhavnani's work with vapor bubbles is rising to the top.

Auburn leads statewide NASA project on simulation-based qualification for additive manufacturing

Auburn's reputation for additive manufacturing (AM) research has again preceded itself. A team of faculty from Samuel Ginn College of Engineering and Harbert College of Business, composed mostly of leadership and affiliated faculty within Auburn University's National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME), received $750,000 in funding for their winning NASA EPSCoR — Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research — project proposal to investigate the structural integrity of additively manufactured (AM) metallic materials. The team also includes researchers from the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa and University of Alabama-Huntsville.

Faculty to research lead-free defense electronics as part of $7M award

Auburn Engineering faculty representing multiple disciplines will help to accelerate the transition to lead-free electronics in aerospace, defense and other high-performance electronics industries through the newly-formed Defense Electronics Consortium.

FAA invests $3 million in Auburn University additive manufacturing research

Thanks to a recent $3 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME) at Auburn University will soon initiate a two-year project focused on improving commercial air travel through the use of 3D-printed (or additively manufactured) metal components.

Auburn-led effort awarded $1.2M to create additive manufacturing standards

The America Makes investment will allow Auburn University researchers to help develop consensus-based best practices for the additive manufacturing industry.

Mechanical Engineering associate professor receives grant for state-of-the-art climate lab

Lorenzo Cremaschi, associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has received a grant of more than $150,000 from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers for research in the state-of-the-art climate lab.
