PrinTimber Team Wins Hacking For Homebuilding Competition

Mallory Bermensolo (Master of Architecture student) was interviewed on Idaho Today regarding the PrinTimber project. The Boise-based show brings statewide recognition to PrinTimber and the team’s research into developing technology to produce sustainable building products made from wood waste. Congratulations to PI Michael Maughn and all the PrinTimber researchers for this well deserved recognition.

This collaborative research project involving universities in different regions aims to address the complex issue of climate change’s impact on agriculture. Greenhouse gas emissions from farming contribute to climate change, leading to more severe droughts that disrupt water supply for crops, affecting farmers’ livelihoods. The project’s main goal is to enhance agricultural sustainability and food…

When Marissa Hilliard joined the University of Idaho College of Art and Architecture, she knew she would combine analytical and creative thinking to work on real life projects. She didn’t expect she would be involved in creating a new sustainable construction material. A team of researchers from U of I and Auburn University are exploring how…

Manish Sakhakarmy, a Graduate Research Assistant at Auburn University, placed in the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) Oral/Poster Competition for my oral presentation entitled, “Comparative study on pyrolysis of Douglas Fir, Eucalyptus, and Poplar for Novolac production”.

Civil Engineering Associate Professor Ahmed Ibrahim was recently named a Structural Engineering Institute Fellow by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and will be recognized at the 2023 SEI Structures Congress in New Orleans. Ahmed’s research interests involve 3D concrete and timber printing, blast-resistant design and large-scale experimental testing. As a fellow at the…

In May, Pullman High School AP Chemistry students learned about the molecular deformation of polymers through a hands-on class taught by Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor and PrinTimber Principal Investigator Michael Maughan. The lesson taught the students what happens to polymers when they are stretched on a molecular level. This basic concept is a fundamental building block of science….
