Dartmouth Engineer Magazine: Spring 2021
Features from the Spring 2021 issue of Dartmouth Engineer Magazine include "The Gift of Failure," "Innovation Through Diversity," and "The Battle Against COVID-19." Plus, "Lab Reports" and research updates, student projects and awards, alumni news, and more.
Dartmouth Engineer magazine is published by the Trustees of Dartmouth College twice a year to help inform and engage the Thayer community.
Features
The Gift of Failure
Cameron Plank Th'21 watched as prototype after prototype broke down in the Arctic ice. Failure pushed him to create a better tool to help scientists "see" climate change as never before.
Innovation Through Diversity
As global challenges grow increasingly complex, Dartmouth engineers look for untapped solutions by first, building a diverse and inclusive community.
The Battle Against Covid-19
One common theme dominated headlines and conversations around the world in 2020: COVID-19. As the number of cases rose ever higher, Dartmouth engineers joined the global fight.

Q&A: Amogha Tadimety & Alison Burklund
The difference between minutes and hours to diagnose an illness literally means life or death. That's why PhD candidate Alison Burklund and Amogha Tadimety Th'20 were determined to spin their work into a startup focused on developing life-saving technology. The two launched Nanopath, whose diagnostic tool has the potential to save hundreds of thousands of lives a year. READ MORE»
Treatment for Infections
LAB REPORT | Dartmouth Engineering-led study shows promise for a lysin-based antibacterial agent that may enable safe, repeated dosing to treat life-threatening staph infections.
Life on Mars
LAB REPORT | A new study suggests the most habitable region for life on Mars would have been deep below its surface, likely due to subsurface melting of ice sheets from geothermal heat.
West End Construction
Construction on the new Center for Engineering and Computer Science is on schedule to be completed this fall, transforming the West End into Dartmouth's new hub of human-centered innovation.
Study Abroad in Berlin
Dartmouth Engineering and the department of German studies is launching a new multidisciplinary study-abroad program in Berlin, Germany, focused on sustainability.
Kudos: Awards and More
We celebrate students who developed self-driving lunar vehicles to faculty patents, awards, student publications, and more.
Welcome: New Faculty
Dartmouth Engineering welcomed Ethan Murphy, Elizabeth Murnane, Geoffroy Hautier, and Kimberly Samkoe to the faculty.
Virtual Couch Lab
Amid the pandemic, Dartmouth Engineering found a creative way to make our virtual spaces as dynamic as the physical.
Research Fellowship
This year's Mazilu Engineering Research Fellow Jason Liu '21 will support Professor Fiona Li to build safer battery systems.
I Want One of Those
In an effort to foster spontaneous connections among students—who are discouraged from attending large gatherings due to COVID-19—a team of undergraduates designed and built HangNow and won the Phillip R. Jackson Award for best overall performance in ENGS 21: Introduction to Engineering.
HangNow
Dartmouth engineering students demo their ENGS 21 project: HangNow—a system to foster spontaneous connections among students in the age of COVID.

"I'm an Engineer and an Olympian"
"Making the team is still pretty surreal to me, and this is the first time that a Puerto Rican women's basketball team has made it to the Olympics. We made history. It's kind of hard to believe."
