Dartmouth Receives DARPA Award to Develop Geoeconomics
An interdisciplinary team of Dartmouth researchers, including Professor of Engineering Peter Chin, has received an award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency as part of its National Security Economic Theory program.
Meet Dartmouth's 14th Dean of Engineering Douglas Van Citters
Hear from Douglas Van Citters '99 Th'03 Th'06 about his initial thoughts as the 14th dean of Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth who assumed his new role on July 1, 2026.
Dartmouth to Participate in NSF-Funded Institute to Meet Quantum Computing Challenges
Dartmouth Engineering Professor Mattias Fitzpatrick was named a member of the institute together with James Whitfield, an associate professor of physics at Dartmouth, and will receive over $2 million to help accelerate the development of quantum computing.
Slowing of Antarctic Ice Loss Likely Not a New Trend
Dartmouth Engineering Professor Yoshihiro Nakayama is co-author of a study published in Nature showing that the slowdown of Antarctic ice sheet mass loss from 2021–2023 may be explained by a temporary increase in snowfall.
Dartmouth Launches K-12 Community Partnership
Professor Rafe Steinhauer delivered the keynote address, and several Thayer students helped run workshops for more than 60 educators from 15 public schools participating in the collaboration between Dartmouth and Upper Valley educators.

Detecting Life in Icy, Extreme Environments
This past summer, PhD student Paulina Umansky, who works with Professor Ian Baker on Antarctic ice microstructure and Professor Jacob Buffo on life detection in planetary ices, lived on the Taku Glacier in Alaska for three weeks as a participant in the Juneau Icefield Research Program. "The Juneau Icefield serves as an analog for environments across the solar system such as Mars and Europa. I conducted a pilot study on 'Life Detection Across Taku Glacier,' collecting subglacial and supraglacial samples. In the field, I learned several assays and applied them to analyze these samples, quantifying biosignatures present across the icefield," says Umansky.

Early Career Program Award
Professor Colin Meyer received an Early Career Program (ECP) Award from the DEVCOM Army Research Lab. ECP awards support creative basic research in science and engineering; enhance early career development of outstanding young investigators; and increase opportunities for young investigators to pursue research in areas relevant to the US Army. "As climate change drives sea‑level rise and amplifies hazards in mountain regions, I’m excited to launch a multidisciplinary effort that links the physics of frozen soils with societal needs. Our work will focus on frost heave, permafrost‑related hazards, and the dynamics of subglacial environments. By integrating laboratory experiments, mathematical models, and thermosyphons technology, we aim to develop actionable solutions for infrastructure resilience through adaptation," says Meyer.

Expanding Cardiovascular Disease Screening
PhD student Spencer Bertsch Th'19 and Professor Vikrant Vaze are co-authors of "FIND Lp(a) Machine Learning Model: Targeted Screening Enrichment of Elevated Lipoprotein(a) in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease" published in JACC: Advances. The study used data from deidentified medical records to "Flag, Identify, Network, and Deliver (FIND)" adults with likely elevated Lipoprotein(a). "By combining state-of-the-art machine learning with relevant clinical information from electronic health records, we demonstrated that the effectiveness of Lipoprotein(a) screening can be more than doubled," said Bertsch.
