Auburn Engineering faculty named to 2024 promotion, tenure list

Auburn University Provost Vini Nathan recently announced the names of faculty awarded promotion, tenure or both for 2024, including 19 faculty in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering.
Aerospace Engineering assistant professor earns NSF CAREER award to study nanocrystalline alloys

Vinamra Agrawal, assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, is studying stable nanocrystalline alloys and their performance in harsh environments — typical of space missions — to determine whether they are viable candidates for materials for structural components.

Aerospace engineering graduate students awarded DoD SMART Scholarships

Alton Stoute and Rehman Qureshi will begin assignments this summer at the U.S. Army Research Lab Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, Maryland, and Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, New York, respectively.
Interdisciplinary team to explore stress response with major NSF award

A team of Auburn University faculty from departments across three disciplines will use a nearly $2 million National Science Foundation award to look at how environmental stressors initiate and prime stress responses, and when those responses influence an animal’s ability to pass genes to next generations.

NSF-funded project to study multiscale high-speed impacts on materials

High speed impacts occur often in the aerospace and defense industries – from a bird striking an airplane to a micrometeorite colliding with a satellite. Understanding how materials such as plastics, metals and ceramics that make up airplanes and satellites respond to high-speed impacts can help engineers to design strong, lightweight and impact-resistant structures.

Auburn’s first ‘Engineering as Art’ exhibit looks to showcase STEM’s creative side

For the next two weeks, the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering will be giving Auburn's Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art a run for it its money.
