This summer, Adriana Joyce, undergraduate in materials engineering, traveled to the Institute of Ceramics and Glass, one of 130 centers belonging to the State Agency’s Superior Council of Scientific Research in Madrid, Spain.

“Being affiliated with these societies can help students understand the advantages of belonging to a professional organization,” said Scott Chumbley, professor of materials science and engineering and advisor to MA.

“Deep neural networks have transformed several artificial intelligence research areas, including computer vision, speech recognition and natural language processing,” Gong states. “However, recent studies demonstrated that DNNs are vulnerable to adversarial manipulations at testing time.”

“If we put this coating on a kitchen wall, it will be extremely easy to clean. If we coat this material on a tie, it may never get dirty. Our experiments and simulations revealed the reason why this new coating material could work,” Jiang said.

Jacek A. Koziel, Ph.D., associate professor in ABE at Iowa State, has been featured in volume 77 of Waste Managementjournal as a reward for being one of 32 top reviewers in 2017.

“It came as no surprise that Josh is being honored,” Hurley said. “His tireless efforts to ensure we provide the best practices to our clients across the U.S. have proven effective. Josh is an essential part of the Holmes Murphy team, and we are glad to see him receive this recognition.”

“Always look for opportunities to improve yourself. You’re never going to stop learning.” Fischer said. “Getting my degree at Iowa State gave me a mindset of deducing problems, which has helped me throughout my career.”

Civil Engineering’s own Celia Barquin Arozamena, Big 12 champion and three-time All-Big 12 golfer, is headed to the U.S. Women’s Open.

Two Iowa State engineering students, Jenna Oftedaland Joshua Bump, have been elected to National Association of Engineering Student Councils 2018-2019 leadership positions.

“CNDE has worked become a true national asset. It is exciting to be part of that and to take on this new role,” said Collins, Al and Julie Renken Professor in Materials Science and Engineering. “I am eager to work with the current world-class CNDE leadership, faculty, staff and students — and to creating new opportunities for others to become involved in CNDE.”

“This event has really just shown that we can come together and make one event, as opposed to all of us doing our own,” Megan Peters, president of ISU SWE and senior in chemical engineering said. “There’s a lack of collaboration, and we can fix that.”

“She creates opportunities for students to learn about engineering and how it can unite their interests,” wrote Ancar’s nominator. “In doing so, she helps make connections among students of color and women by providing safe spaces for students to ask questions…and learn not just how to survive, but to thrive at Iowa State.”

“Zach went above and beyond by reaching out to his learning community students outside of the classroom via weekly emails, eating together and connecting students with his own network to help them succeed,” said Jessica Van Winkle, academic advisor in mechanical engineering.

“One of my goals is to open a coffee shop on the moon because I imagine having something as comforting and luxurious as a coffee shop away from our home as a great representation of our success in making space travel as informal as going on a road trip.”

The pair shared their 90-second pitch in front of a panel of judges, competing with over 30 other students for a chance to win up to $1,000 in prize money. The $500 Best New Innovation award was sponsored by Ames Economic Development Commission and presented by AEDC’s Drew Camp.
