University of Pittsburgh Chancellor Patrick Gallagher and Provost Patricia E. Beeson recently presented the Swanson School of Engineering's Minking Chyu with a medallion recognizing his appointment as Distinguished Service Professor. The presentation was held during a virtual board meeting between representatives at Pitt and Sichuan University in December. 

The paper describes how automated machine reading can be used to pore over volumes of research and use that information to create models for understanding biological processes.

Pitt's U.S. Steel Dean of Engineering and Distinguished Service Professor of Engineering is being honored by the Pittsburgh chapter of the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers.

James McKone and Christopher Wilmer are among 58 recognized for their nascent research in energy storage.

The senior in the Swanson School of Engineering is one of six scholars nationwide to receive the annual award.

If successful, this study could lead to efficient production of magnetic actuators, used in power generation and items like sensors, robotics and mechanical devices.

The professor and vice chair for graduate education in Pitt's Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering was recognized for excellence in teaching, research and service.

The associate professor will lead the Electrical and Electronics Engineers publication.

The team's project will measure surface roughness of tiny particles and characterize the fundamental relationship between adhesion and roughness at small sizes.

Faculty from the Swanson School of Engineering and the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences were awarded a total of $25,000.
