Editor's Note: For those interested in learning more about the World Future Energy Summit, two Duke undergrads will discuss their experiences at 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 11, in Schiciano Auditorium, side B, CEIMAS.
It might seem a bit ironic that a nation built entirely on the fruits of its vast oil and gas reserves would play host to an international conference dedicated to sustainability and all things green.
But for the third year running, policymakers, ...
Pratt junior James Wu was covered in it from head to toe like a living dryer vent.
Coloradoan Hillary Cavanaugh, with slight irony, called it the best powder she'd ever seen.
Using a plastic garbage can, Kathy Kay filled an industrial dumpster with it.
The "it" is decades-old tufts of insulation ripped out of the walls and ceilings of a home in a modest neighborhood in southern Durham. Five miles away, a second group of Pratt student volunteers ...
Once again, the Smart Home Program has received national attention for its contributions to making the world a greener place.
This time, it was the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), who announced this week that the Duke program is one of the recipients of its Excellence in Green Building Curriculum Recognition Awards for 2009.
Duke's Smart Home Program was one of five award winners in the category covering colleges and universities. The award recognizes innovative green building ...
A native of Baltimore, Maryland and a rising senior, Jordan Lewis is one of many Duke students to take on a summer internship this year. A mechanical engineering major who is also pursuing a markets and management study certificate, Lewis decided to put his skills to use working for Skanska USA Building. Skanska, an international construction management company based in Sweden, is a leader in environmental design and construction industries in Durham and has conducted ...
When Baris Guzel, a Turkey native working in Germany, came to the US to get his MEM degree at Duke, he quickly discovered that America, among other things, is a country that uses technology efficiency. His in-box was quickly bombarded with emails asking him to complete surveys for anything from rating student services to registering for Fuqua courses. This was a new phenomenon for Baris, one that he had not experienced in Europe. He saw ...
Duke University awarded degrees to 523 undergraduate and graduate engineering students on May 10 in ceremonies beginning with a university-wide commencement celebration in Wallace Wade Stadium and ending with a Pratt School of Engineering ceremony in Duke Chapel.
Pratt Dean Tom Katsouleas Bachelor of Science in Engineering diplomas to 279 students, including 12 who completed their work in December and one last September, before a crowd of parents, relatives and friends in the Chapel.
Pratt also awarded ...
Legions of genetically souped-up silkworms could someday produce a substance that more effectively protects troops in battle at less than half the weight of current body armor.
It has been long known that the silk spun by spiders is remarkably strong and flexible. However, the main challenge to date in harnessing this natural wonder is the difficulty in lining enough spiders to produce high quantities of silk.
That's where the silkworms come in.
Scientists have developed a way ...
Jon Kuniholm lost part of his right arm as the result of a roadside bombing in Iraq in 2005. Since that time, the retired Marine Corps officer has been researching new designs for functional limb prostheses as a doctoral student in biomedical engineering at the Pratt School of Engineering.
As a vet and as a researcher -- he's also co-founder of a company working on arm prostheses -- he was interviewed recently by the CBS program ...
As a young man growing up in Chennai, India and in England, Gautham Pandiyan has always sought out new experiences and opportunities. When he came to Duke to pursue a PhD in Molecular Cancer Biology he took advantage of Duke's interdisciplinary approach to education and tried a few Fuqua classes. Quickly realizing that he had a flare for business and innovation, Gautham completed his MS and made the switch to the MEM program where he ...
