Helping wounds heal with smart skin grafts

Patients need smarter skin grafts that facilitate healing and minimize infection, especially if they have chronic or slow-healing wounds.

Training new scientists to analyze aging weapons

Texas A&M is leading a new, multi-university center that will contribute to the understanding of materials science needed for the maintenance of the United States’ nuclear deterrent. The center will also train the next generation of scientists and engineers who will ensure the safety, security and effectiveness of the nuclear weapons stockpile.

HPE donation enables new advanced materials and photonics research

Equipment donated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise will give Texas A&M researchers the chance to develop next-generation technologies across several disciplines.

Research facts

A look at Texas A&M College of Engineering’s research activities and facilities.

Reusing and repurposing wasted heat energy

A research group is working to find efficient solutions for reusing and repurposing wasted heat energy.

Improving predictive models and coastal resilience

Information gathered during hurricanes by the Texas COAstal Storm Rapid Response team, composed of researchers from Texas A&M University at College Station and Galveston, and Rice University, could help ensure better predictions of hurricanes’ impact and potential damage.

Understanding the backbone of bitcoin

Dr. Juan Garay is focused on understanding the fundamental properties of blockchain data structure and protocol. Blockchain serves as the core of the virtual currency bitcoin.

Using genomic data to understand disease response

Using signal processing and machine learning tools, Dr. Xiaoning Qian and his team are working to decipher which genes are critical to understanding and predicting disease progression and how genetic differences and environmental stress change the living system. These answers would help biologists develop new disease management practices.

Building a scaffold to heal bone defects

Dr. Melissa Grunlan is developing and testing a new shape-shifting foam designed to precisely fill and promote healing of bone defects.
