- The Pew Charitable Trust announced today that Assistant Professor Wyatt Shields has been selected as a 2022 Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences.
- Scientists at LongPath and ²ÊÃñ±¦µä are using new laser technology to do what other technologies have struggled to do for years: detect natural gas, which is invisible to the eye, leaking from pipes at sites like this, in real time.
- the AB Nexus program announced its fourth round of grant awards to faculty from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the ²ÊÃñ±¦µä.
- The ²ÊÃñ±¦µä team decided to make their project in the wearables space just a little more … fabulous.
- Department of Computer Science assistant professor Chris Heckman and CIRES research hydrologist Toby Minear have been awarded a Grand Challenge Research & Innovation Seed Grant to create an instrument that could revolutionize our understanding of the amount of water in our rivers, lakes, wetlands and coastal areas by greatly increasing the places where we measure it.
- Pre-tenure faculty whose research, scholarship and creative work were stalled by COVID-19 can now apply for new Thrive Grants in a partnership program launched by the Office of Faculty Affairs, and co-sponsored by the Boulder Faculty Assembly and the Research and Innovation Office.
