UW-Madison Industrial and Systems Engineering Department Assistant Professor Yonatan Mintz, researcher Katherine Adams (PhDISyE ’24), and their collaborators have developed a novel framework for generating deployment plans for community health workers treating diabetes in under-resourced areas.

Not only do the majority of people with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries, per the World Health Organization, but treatment also lags in those under-resourced locales, more often leading to death or disability....

Congratulations to the University of Wisconsin-Madison WiscWind team on winning second place in the 2026 Collegiate Wind Competition and taking first place in the project development contest!

Students on the team presented development plans to panels of industry judges and tested their turbine in a wind tunnel last week during a three-day regional competition at Cal Poly Maritime Academy in Vallejo, California.

UW-Madison Department of Mechanical Engineering researchers have discovered why defects form in 3D-printed metal parts created with electron beam melting.

Their findings could enable defect-free, high-end parts for aerospace or future fusion energy power plants.

The team, led by Associate Professor Lianyi Chen, used a bespoke synchrotron X-ray imaging system to make the discovery. The advance was recently published in Nature Communications.

A team of optimization researchers from the UW-Madison Industrial and Systems Engineering Department and FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, led by PhD student Monica Rico, examined ways to more strategically locate prescription drug collection boxes and improve access.

A plastic bottle of prescribed painkillers—extras from a surgical recuperation—lurks in the back of your medicine cabinet. If you’re like most Americans, you’ll either let the pills linger, flush them down the toilet or toss...
