Pre-Research Support
Beyond the Horizon Initiative
Duke Engineering makes substantial investments in interdisciplinary teams starting out on extremely high-risk, high-reward projects. In our inaugural class, six proposals were selected to shape Duke Engineering’s future research and teaching profile.
Taming AI’s Outsized Appetite
AI applications demand enormous amounts of energy and water. A new collaboration aims to make circuitry more compact and sustainable
Request for Proposals
Duke NetID required to access.
Streamlining Duke Engineering’s International Efforts to Maximize Impact
Duke Engineering’s Beyond the Horizon initiative is launching the Center for Sustainability and the Global Community
It Pays to Share
Big Data’s value lies in its secondary value, and Duke ECE’s Jian Pei aims to encourage model sharing among organizations
Scouring Nature for the Building Blocks of Biomedical Condensates
Cross-campus collaboration seeks to discover naturally occurring biological condensates, like drops of oil forming in water, to engineer new therapeutics
Unlocking the Future Potential of Living Materials
Researchers across campus aim to harness bacteria to engineer adaptive living materials
Wearable Tech to Capture Better Brain Images
Wearable imaging devices have a tough time penetrating a human skull. Check out why sound-generating lasers might be the key to fast, accurate and detailed 3D brain images.
