Two eyes better than one in verifying unique phase of ice
Researchers from six institutions, including Niaz Abdolrahim, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Rochester, and Ali Shargh, a PhD student in her lab, raise several flags of caution about a new approach to imaging biological samples.
Continue ReadingThe department was ranked 14th in publications per faculty and 8th in citations per publication, according to a 2010 study by the National Research Council.
There are approximately 200 undergraduate students (50 per graduating class) and 22 faculty members in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Rochester.
Why MECHe?
All of our mechanical engineering students apply the latest software to problems in the mechanics of solids and fluids, materials science, mechanical systems, and advanced power applications. They also have broad hands-on laboratory and design experience. We offer research opportunities to both graduate and undergraduate students.
