�ձ�av��Ƶ researchers are critically examining published research on microplastics to better understand this emerging problem.

�ձ�av��Ƶ researcher Sunil Mor has received the Bayer-Snoeyenbos New Investigator Award for his crucial work in the poultry industry.

A study from �ձ�av��Ƶ found including red meat within high-quality diets supports adequacy of brain health-critical nutrients, microbial diversity and may support mental health.

�ձ�av��Ƶ will improve medical imaging and health care outcomes through the advanced study and application of the chemical element germanium.

A new study from �ձ�av��Ƶ reveals how grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that is stronger than traditional plastic and will decompose in the environment in a relatively short amount of time.

Kevin Costner’s famed line in “Field of Dreams” is “If you build it, he will come.” For Carter Waggoner, the line is a little different. He came with the intention of building. “I’ve always wanted to be an engineer. I knew when I came here, I wanted to be an engineer. I originally wanted to be a design engineer for heavy equipment,” Waggoner said. Today, the 2020 Rapid City Stevens graduate is manager of engineering for AeroFly, a lunar startup company in Brookings.

Andrew Sternhagen, an electrical engineering major at �ձ�av��Ƶ, is working under the guidance of electrical engineering assistant professor Xiaojun Xian to create a sweat biosensor. The Brookings native, who just completed his freshman year, is one of 12 selected in December 2024 as a Future Innovators of America.

For the third consecutive year, �ձ�av��Ƶ has broken its research expenditures record.

�ձ�av��Ƶ is one of 12 universities nationwide to be selected by NASA to prepare a project for the Moon to Mars eXploration Systems and Habitation Academic Innovation Challenge sponsored by NASA’s Mars Campaign Office. NASA sought proposals from accredited engineering programs this spring and announced July 7 that proposals from 12 universities had been accepted for projects supporting space habitats and deep space exploration missions.

In a new project through the Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering's Future Innovators of America program, Matthew Croke will work with assistant professor Aritra Banerjee to develop a system that predicts root zone moisture using artificial intelligence and remote sensing tools.
