Engineers Produce Water-Saving Crop Irrigation Sensor
The sensors are small enough to insert into the soil and less expensive to manufacture than current technology, the researchers write in the Journal of Sensors and Actuators.
$5M Gift Launches Arts and Engineering Institute
While the Krenickis, who both graduated in 1984, have given generously across the university before, this gift honors their personal UConn story, uniting John’s major in mechanical engineering with Donna’s, in graphic design. The Krenickis met in the fall of their junior year. The couple has raised three children and carved out careers that have crossed industry, private equity, and the arts.

Solving Industry Challenges By Teaching Microscopes to Talk To Each Other
By learning how to make different types of microscopes communicate with each other, UConn researchers helped solve a tricky industry problem.
Researchers Hone Our Ability to Map Storm Flooding
UConn researchers developed a radar satellite-based mapping technique that will improve the ability of forecasters to more accurately predict the inundated area caused by future storms.
New Grant Helps Manage Pain and the Opioid Crisis
A research team from the Connecticut Convergence Institute for Translation in Regenerative Engineering has received $1.8 million from the NIH to work towards the development of a non-opioid treatment for acute pain flare-ups.
START Preliminary Proof of Concept Fund Recipients
Through a generous grant from the CTNext Higher Education Fund last year, the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) has been administering an early stage translational research funding program called the START Preliminary Proof of Concept Fund. Under the grant, funding is provided to investigators at Central Connecticut State University, Southern Connecticut State […]
