Having Iowa’s largest medical center on campus created a valuable opportunity for a trio of University of Iowa industrial and systems engineering (ISE) students to improve patient care and hospital operations.

IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering at the University of Iowa has partnered with Iowa towns and major cities in the nation and world to manage their stormwater challenges, with the goal to efficiently discharge excess flows that can harm the environment and endanger people.

Steady progress in reducing surface ozone pollution, the main ingredient in smog, is increasingly being overshadowed by a different and growing source of ozone pollution: wildfires, according to new findings from University of Iowa researchers Weizhi Deng and Jun Wang, and Meng Zhou of the University of Maryland.

A new University of Iowa research initiative, the Iowa Integrated Network for Science, Information, and Geospatial Health Tracking (INSIGHT) program, will produce scientific evidence needed to understand how environmental exposures affect human health, from the air we breathe to the water we drink.

Cities facing a one-two punch of heat and air pollution could fight back with changes in city planning, according to a new study co-authored by Gregory Carmichael, University of Iowa Karl Kammermeyer Professor of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, and published in Nature Communications.

A team of mechanical engineering senior design students from the University of Iowa partnered with the Iowa City Bike Library to create an innovative, sustainable solution to an unlikely challenge: washing bikes with rainwater.

Two new robots, a humanoid and a dog-looking quadruped, are helping University of Iowa engineering students connect equations to real-world motion. Thus far, the robots have been incorporated into Dynamics and a handful of other venues, including senior design projects.
