Tyler Ray and Woochul Lee were presented with their awards at the 2024 ASME<\/abbr> International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition annual meeting in Portland, Oregon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two mechanical engineering<\/a> faculty members from the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa College of Engineering<\/a> have been recognized with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers<\/a> (ASME<\/abbr>) Rising Star of Mechanical Engineering Award.<\/p>\n

Assistant Professor Tyler Ray<\/a> and Associate Professor Woochul Lee were honored for their achievements and contributions to the field of mechanical engineering. The award recognizes early-career researchers who have received national research recognition through awards by organizations such as the National Science Foundation (NSF<\/abbr>). Both professors were awarded NSF CAREER<\/abbr> awards in 2023<\/a> and 2024<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n

The ASME<\/abbr> Rising Star designation highlights the professors’ innovative research and work to inspire the next generation of engineers. Both Ray and Lee have demonstrated exceptional research capabilities that push the boundaries of mechanical engineering across different specialized domains.<\/p>\n

Ray: advanced diagnostic technologies<\/h2>\n

Ray\u2019s research focuses on the design and fabrication of multifunctional nanocomposite materials (tiny, smart materials with multiple capabilities), with a particular emphasis on bio-integrated sensing platforms. His work centers on developing advanced diagnostic technologies, including skin-integrated devices for sweat analysis and clinical monitoring.<\/p>\n
