An NIH Trailblazer Award is supporting USC Viterbi Assistant Professor Hangbo Zhao's research on flexible medical electronics designed to give physicians new insights into high-risk artery plaque.
First-ever open house showcases USC SERC where students are building satellites, developing space robots and preparing for the next generation of space exploration
A study by USC Viterbi researchers indicates that nicotine-free e-cigarettes can disrupt the heart's oxygen supply-demand balance, a key indicator of cardiovascular health.
New study is first to develop algorithm that learns an individual's preferred vibration patterns, opening the door to personalized haptic experiences in gaming, mental health and automobiles
Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering @ USC
Aerospace and mechanical engineers design and build unique, complex mechanical-optical-electronic (mechoptronic) systems, ranging in scale from the International Space Station to microscale electric generators and pumping systems.
A broad range of engineering science research is critical to developing novel, complex mechoptronic systems. As a consequence, aerospace and mechanical engineers conduct extensive basic and applied research within and crossing their usual disciplinary boundaries, they also synthesize research from many other disciplines.
