When the Army wanted to update its 50-year-old process for identifying hazards in the battlefield, it turned to UMR for help.

Nuclear engineering students Dan Estel, Craig Heimericks and Jeremy Gorelick last spring became the first undergraduate students in a new training program to become certified as nuclear reactor operators.

UMR researchers demonstrated two very different technologies — one for blowing up bridges, the other for holding them together — with the 98-year-old Sappington Bridge, located near Sullivan, Mo.

UMR experts in earthquakes, floods and other natural hazards joined together last February to create the UMR Natural Hazards Mitigation Institute, a vehicle for promoting research into natural hazards and raising public awareness.

Ridding the world of land mines isn’t child’s play, but UMR researcher David Summers has learned a thing or two about neutralizing the deadly explosives from, of all things, a child’s plastic water pistol.

St. Louis Cardinals pitching great-turned-sports announcer Dizzy Dean was well known in Missouri for his broadcasting style, which was full of mangled grammar and malapropisms.

At UMR’s nuclear reactor, faculty and staff are using their faces instead of keys to gain access to secured areas. The face-recognition technology being used at the UMR reactor is an evaluation in security that could help aid the nation’s security concerns, says Dr. Akira Tokuhiro, assistant professor of nuclear engineering and director of the […]

Roll out the red carpet for Dr. Steve Sullivan, a 1989 electrical engineering graduate of UMR, who has won an Academy Award for technical achievement.
