- - Marc Edwards' seminar to explore the pursuit of scientific truth amid a culture of tribalism
    The Flint and D.C. water crises will be presented as case studies in government and scientific misconduct in the June 22 seminar.
- - Vinod Lohani named W.S. "Pete" White Chair for Innovation in Engineering Education
    A member of the Virginia Tech faculty since 1998, Lohani has impacted hundreds of students across the College of Engineering through innovative teaching methods based on interactive classroom instruction technologies combined with hands-on learning experiences.
- - Diverse perspectives on display at upcoming exposome symposium
    It’s not often that students studying public affairs, English, and civil and environmental engineering present their research at the same meeting.
- - Behind the scenes of drone integration: Managing traffic in the sky
    As drone flights from the entertaining to the lifesaving, and all the more quotidian ones in between, become more common, the systems coordinating those missions behind the scenes will become increasingly critical.
- - B. Aditya Prakash on IEEE magazine's list of 10 young stars to watch in artificial intelligence
    The assistant professor of computer science and faculty member at the Discovery Analytics Center made the list for his contributions to understanding, reasoning, and mining the phenomenon of propagation over networks in diverse real-world systems.
- - Virginia wins bid to participate in national drone program
    The winning teams will have the opportunity to conduct some of the most complex flight testing of unmanned aircraft ever undertaken in U.S. skies. The day-to-day operations of the program in Virginia will be managed by the Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership.
- - Could soccer headgear reduce concussion risk? First-ever ratings say yes.
    Soccer players have one of the highest head injury rates in sports: One study indicated that more than 60 percent of soccer players reported concussion symptoms annually. Concussion rates for girls' soccer rival those in boys’ football.
- - At 85 feet, the net's the limit: Virginia Tech Drone Park officially open
    Once Virginia Tech President Tim Sands cut the ceremonial ribbon held aloft by a drone, the Virginia Tech Drone Park was officially open for business.
- - Research groups field-test the future of transportation, on the ground and in the air
    The Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership and Virginia Tech Transportation Institute teamed up for NASA research exploring how drones could detect each other and avoid each other in the sky.
- - Research teams led by junior faculty win seed funding for new projects
    The Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science's flagship funding program, the Junior Faculty Awards are designed to provide seed funding for new projects that have the potential to grow into vibrant research programs attracting major federal grants.
- - Virginia Tech researchers examine role of fluid flow in ovarian cancer progression
    Known as the silent killer, ovarian cancer is notorious for avoiding detection until it has progressed to an advanced stage. New research from Virginia Tech on fluid shear stress in the abdominal cavity is moving physicians closer to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment.
- - Newly discovered mode of drinking in mosquitoes carries biomedical implications
    An international team of researchers, including several at Virginia Tech, has discovered a new ‘burst mode’ of feeding in mosquitoes, which could have implications for future research in mosquito-borne disease transmission, insect morphology, and microfluidics.
- - Students find ways to use nanotechnology for good, win funds to develop their ideas
    Four undergraduate-led teams won awards in the Nanotechnology Entrepreneurship Challenge, earning seed funding and business mentorship.
- - Virginia Tech leads efforts to develop national water pipeline database
    Sunil Sinha, professor in the Charles E. Via Jr. Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, will work to develop a national database, named PIPEiD, otherwise known as Pipeline Infrastructure Database, that will efficiently and securely store the collected data.
- - A graduate student, a crash test dummy, and building safer cars
    Devon Albert, who holds a Doctoral Scholars Fellowship from the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science, has seen firsthand what it takes to evaluate a crash test dummy: a lot of data.
