K-State Engineering

Meet the K-State CubeSat team

At K-State, engineering students are gaining hands-on experience designing and building CubeSat missions — learning the complexities of satellite systems, testing and mission planning with the goal of eventually launching their satellites into space.

Graphene, the "wonder material," has shaped much of Suprem Das' research career. From nano-manufacturing to advanced printing for applications such as sensing and energy, Das is committed to finding graphene solutions with real-world impact.

Read how his work has earned him his fourth patent at https://bit.ly/4dJfnsU.

Congratulations to the four engineering faculty, Amir Bahadori, Suprem Das, Dan Flippo and Ajay Sharda, who secured patents in 2025!

Innovation at K-State is creating impact far beyond campus. 💡🌎

The Kansas State University Research Foundation recently honored 36 inventors and breeders during the 2026 Inventors and Breeders Ceremony, recognizing faculty and researchers whose discoveries earned patents and plant variety protection certificates in 2024 and 2025.

From new wheat varieties and graphene-based materials to advances in agricultural engineering, entomology, animal health and beyond, these innovators are turning research into real-world solutions that are driving economic growth across Kansas and making an impact around the globe. 💜

The Steel Ring Engineering Honor Society has announced its 2026 Saints of Engineering Congratulations Nicholas Karr, Rory Jenkins and Alex Ko for their outstanding leadership and contributions to the college.
