Sabelhaus Research: Advancing the Safety of Soft Robots for Human Interactions
The emergence of soft robots will enable safe human interactions which will allow robots to assist in the industrial, medical, automotive and space industries. College of Engineering Professor Andrew Sabelhaus (ME, SE), has been working on making soft robots safer to improve these human interaction tasks, in areas such as medicine, as well as explore difficult or dangerous locations. His work will help improve the design of many other soft robots.

MADE with Machine Learning: Utilizing AI to Design the Next Generation of Semiconductor Devices
With the help of advanced, physics-informed machine learning (PIML) techniques, Professors Enrico Bellotti & Luca Dal Negro are setting out to transform the status quo of electronic device design, with the support of a $2.5M grant from the Army Research Office.
Building the Societal Engineer
Bringing various expertise together is not just for today’s research. It also is effective training for engineering students, who can learn to use it to solve societal problems today and throughout their careers. The College of Engineering is embedding this approach in its educational mission at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Building the Workforce of Tomorrow
When it comes to finding a job after graduation, knowledge gained in the classroom and lab is, of course, critical. But, today’s employers in the rapidly advancing engineering field want more. They want the kind of hands-on skills with the latest technologies that enables new hires to hit the ground running.
Building a New Kind of Faculty
If you want to harness the power of having faculty from multiple disciplines address a societal challenge, you have to make it easy for them to do so. Cross-disciplinary collaboration has long been part of the college’s DNA, and that culture is now being formalized in way that is unlike any other engineering school.
To Protect Our Most Vital Organs
With NIH grants, a cross-disciplinary team at BU studies threats to the brain and heart.
