Michael Wang, materials science and engineering Ph.D. candidate, uses a glove box to inspect a lithium metal battery cell in a lab in the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project building at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich. on October 19, 2020.
Wang is working under Jeff Sakamoto, associate professor of mechanical engineering, to design a lithium metal solid state battery cell that can be integrated into existing lithium ion battery manufacturing infrastructure so that the better performing cells can be build cheaply and safely and enter the battery market more quickly, without requiring significant re-tooling of existing plants.

Elissa Welle, Graduate Student Research Assistant in Biomedical Engineering, prepares to sharpen an array that has four carbon fiber electrodes attached to it at Professor Cindy Chestek’s Cortical Neural Prosthetics lab inside North Campus Research Center in Ann Arbor, MI on Friday June 11, 2021.
The carbon fibers are originally cylindrical wires with a flat end but are made sharp through the heat of the butane flame. The rest of the array, composed of medical-grade silicone, a polyimide printed circuit board, four 50-um diameter wires, and an Omnetics connector, is kept safely under the water, which acts as a flame retardant. Once sharp, the electrodes insert easily into lots of different types of biological tissue - nerves, the brain, the dorsal root ganglia - that typical flat-ended wires cannot penetrate.

Elizabeth Callison, Graduate Student Research Assistant at Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering tests the drag characteristics of biofilm (the green slime that grows on the bottom of ship hulls) inside the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory at 1085 S. University Ave. in Ann Arbor, MI. on Thursday March 7, 2019.
Using a laser line scanner, Callison can get the profile of the biofilm which later will be used to print a 3D rigid replica to test the differences between biofilm that can flutter and move as opposed to a rigid one.
With this information, Callison hopes to show what proportion of the drag of biofilm comes from its compliance (ability to move). This would be useful to be able to tell at what point it is necessary to clean a ship hull from biofilm so that it would still preform well, i.e., continue to reach its top speed, and less fuel consumption.

Methane gas (CH4) is generated in landfills through the anaerobic (absence of oxygen) digestion of the buried waste and is estimated by the EPA to be 28-36 times worse than carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere because it is that much more efficient at trapping heat in the ozone.

Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Necmiye Ozay troubleshoots with EECS Graduate Student Research Assistant Petter Nilsson at Mcity Test Facility in Ann Arbor, MI. on September 13, 2017.
Ozay’s group designs algorithms that can take information about the rules of the road, the specs of the car, and the laws of physics and then produce a program that enables the car to drive itself safely. Unlike programming designed for specific models of cars in particular locations, this more general way to program a self-driving car can work for different vehicles in different countries.
