Research is an integral function within the Gallogly College of Engineering. Our research productivity focuses in four strategic growth areas:
Biomedical engineering research is known for the creation of technologies that advance human health. Research themes include:
Amy McGovern, an OU professor with dual appointments in the School of Computer Science in the Gallogly College of Engineering and in the School of Meteorology in the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences, will lead the NSF AI Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography.
Talayeh Razzaghi, an assistant professor in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering is leading a project using machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to predict when pregnant women may have increased risk of preeclampsia.
In recent years, commercial and military demand for using the electromagnetic spectrum has exploded. Mobile devices, digital audio and streaming platforms compete with military needs for communications and intelligence. Justin Metcalf’s research project explores how the electromagnetic spectrum has become critically congested.
Steven Crossley, associate professor at the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering, has been awarded a four-year, $2 million collaborative grant by the Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation program of the National Science Foundation to advance polymer recycling technologies in hopes of sending less multi-layer plastics to landfills.
New research provides better insight into predicting how the coronavirus might spread in rural communities. Led by Charles Nicholson, an associate professor in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, the project applies machine learning techniques and data like social media, mobility, demographics and health factors to develop models to predict the spread of COVID-19.
