MIME student awarded Fulbright Scholarship
At the end of August, Caitlyn Clark, graduate student in mechanical engineering, will travel to Aalborg University in Denmark for ten months to conduct research and represent the United States through the Fulbright Program.

MIME expands role in Manufacturing USA
The National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI), also known as Manufacturing USA, is a collective of research institutes in the United States that focuses on developing and commercializing manufacturing technologies through public-private partnerships between industry, universities, and federal agencies.
Fanning the flames for the next generation of engineers
A.J. Fillo, Ph.D. candidate in the School of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, has launched a new video series aimed at inspiring the next generation of engineers.
On many days, you can find Ph.D. candidate A.J. Fillo in MIME’s Niemeyer Research Group offices studying the turbulent combustion of liquid jet fuels.
More early-career standouts for MIME
Three MIME faculty have achieved early-career benchmarks by earning prestigious and competitive research awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR). This is the second year in a row that the school can boast three winners in a single year, and it now lists 14 of its 50 research faculty as past winners. Altogether, research funding for this year’s awards totals more than $1.5 million.
Beyond soft robotics
By changing the consistency of silicone rubber, John Morrow, a graduate student in robotics, enabled a 3D printer to assemble silicone into complex shapes. The breakthrough could hold the key to 3D printing of silicone soft-bodied robots.
Morrow and his colleague, Osman Dogan Yirmibesoglu, a Ph.D. student in robotics, presented their findings at the 2017 Graduate Research Showcase.
Actor turned engineer
Many engineers knew early on that they were destined for their chosen career. Maybe they liked to build things, or they appreciated the mathematical order that permeates the discipline, or they have an intrinsic talent for solving problems. Vishvas Chalishazar had all of those qualities. He wanted to be a professional actor.
Learning the meaning of perseverance
Sharada Bose spoke to engineering students while in Oregon to receive an award from the College of Engineering.
At age 19, Sharada Bose moved from India to Corvallis, Oregon, having never been in the U.S. before. It was 1981, and she recalls being amazed at the cash registers in Fred Meyer, thinking they were computers. It was her lack of knowledge that inspired her to pursue computer science.
“I didn’t want to be in the I-don’t-know camp,” Bose said.
