What if the future of infrastructure repair could be printed layer by layer?

Dr. Tyler Ley and Dr. Jaime Schussler are researching how 3D-printed concrete could help modernize dam construction and repair, offering a faster and safer approach to maintaining critical infrastructure.

Supported by the USDA, the project aims to extend the lifespan of aging dams while improving resilience for communities across Oklahoma and beyond.

Research opportunities start earlier than many students realize.

The Bullen Research Experiences for Undergraduates program is helping OSU students explore real-world challenges in water quality and conservation through hands-on research, faculty mentorship, and dedicated project funding.

Since launching in 2026, the program has supported seven undergraduate researchers, providing opportunities to build research, communication, and collaboration skills along the way.

And for students who aren’t sure if research is for them, one message from the program’s participants stands out:

“There really is a spot for everyone.”

Drone delivery is coming to Oklahoma, and CEAT is helping shape the future.

As Manna Air Delivery prepares to launch its drone delivery service in Tulsa and establish a manufacturing site, the company’s CEO and CTO recently visited CEAT’s Helmerich Research Center to explore the research and testing capabilities supporting Oklahoma’s growing unmanned aircraft ecosystem.

During the tour, Manna CEO Bobby Healy and CTO Alan Hicks visited the LaunchPad and OAIRE operations, as well as CEAT’s unmanned aircraft motor testing space, vehicle design lab, and anechoic chamber.

The visit also opened the door for conversations about future collaboration between Manna and CEAT.
