M. Mert Egilmez, a mechanical engineering research fellow, wears a vibration-based therapeutic device during a demonstration test while surrounded by colleagues in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building on North Campus of the University of Michigan College of Engineering in Ann Arbor, MI on November 6, 2017.
The research project, led by Himanshu Saxena under the direction of Bogdan Epureanu, PhD, a professor of mechanical engineering, and Kevin Ward, MD, a professor of emergency medicine, aims to study the health benefits of controlled mechanical vibrations on the human body through the use of a therapeutic device.
The project is making its way through the Coulter Translational Research Partnership Program within the Department of Biomedical Engineering, which seeks to accelerate the development of university technologies into new products to improve health care.

CEE Professor Dimitrios Zekkos (left) along with Chenghang Liu, Civil Engineering Undergraduate, inside a landfill in Midland, MI. on October 16, 2018 implementing landfill monitoring techniques of methane gas emissions using autonomous robotics technology that are far more time efficient, cost efficient, and accurate than current practices.
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.

Maria Redoutey, Graduate Student Research Assistant at Civil and Environmental Engineering, works on developing small scale functional actuators to be used in micro-robotics inside Evgueni Filipov’s laboratory located at 2144 GG Brown on North Campus Ann Arbor, MI. on Wednesday, February 27, 2018.
Many components of micro-robots must be fabricated in a flat sheet due to their size (on the order of micrometers). This results in a limited range of motion, especially in out-of-plane bending, which is needed for many robot movements such as walking or gripping. If the micro-robots could be fabricated in a flat sheet and then reconfigure on their own into a 3D shape, their ranges of motion could be greatly increased.
Redoutey is working with a shape memory polymer that is 3D printed on top of a flexible polymer. When the materials are heated, the stress releases and folds at the clear hinges into a 3D box.

Ahmet Emrehan Emre, a biomedical engineering PhD candidate, attaches a prototype structural battery to a consumer drone in lieu of the original plastic casing in the University of Michigan North Campus Research Complex in Ann Arbor, MI on December 21, 2018.
This work is part of a research project led by Nicholas Kotov, the Joseph B and Florence V Cejka Professor of Engineering at U-M. Their team has created a prototype of a zinc structural battery that uses a cartilage-like material as a solid electrolyte, which could be integrated into the structural components of aircraft, cars, and many other vehicles or devices where weight and efficiency are a concern. In this drone example, the prototype battery is wired in parallel with the craft's existing battery and is formed to cover the top and replace the casing as a demonstration of the capabilities of the structural battery.

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.
