ATLAS professor Ellen Do has worked to cultivate relationships between CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø and industry players, including as a member of the Pervasive Personalized Intelligence (PPI) Center, to support graduate students and enhance opportunities for commercialization.

Since the Kiewit Design-Build Scholars Program launched at CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø in 2020, it has given engineering students an inside view of the design and construction industry. This month, Kiewit Corporation extended the program for five years with a generous $2.5 million investment.

As a member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology arriving on campus only a day after it was announced that the Mountain West is receiving a $127 million infusion to bolster quantum technology and workforce, the discussion was energized and timely.

Elevate Quantum, of which CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø is a key partner, announced today that it has received a Tech Hub Phase 2 implementation award from the Department of Commerce, cementing the Mountain West as a global leader for quantum innovation.

Assistant Professor Sean Peters (Aerospace Engineering) is leading a major multi-institutional initiative to create a drone-based, power-efficient passive radar system to map subsurface areas of Mars. The initiative was recently funded by a $2.45 million, three-year NASA grant.

The Kennedy Space Center launch of NOAA’s GOES-U satellite—carrying the fourth and final Extreme Ultraviolet and X-Ray Irradiance Sensors (EXIS) instrument—was a high point in the two-decade long program on which dozens of LASP employees worked for the majority of their careers.

When a solar flare leaps out from around the sun, a small fleet of scientific instruments designed and built at CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø form a first line of defense—spotting these massive eruptions before any other instrument in space, then relaying the information to Earth in seconds.

NSF has awarded $20M to CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø to launch a facility known as the National Quantum Nanofab (NQN), where Colorado researchers and quantum specialists from around the country will be able to design and build incredibly small devices that tap into the world of atoms and photons.

The Research and Innovation Office (RIO) announces the launch of the fourth annual Fall Fellowships Writing & Peer Editing Program: ACLS, NHC, SHC and More, facilitated by RIO Proposal Writer/Editor Donna Axel. Faculty are encouraged to attend a brief 30-minute kickoff on Tuesday, July 16 at either 10 a.m. or 4 p.m. to determine if the program is right for them.

CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø's Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences is partnering with the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Emergency Squad to evaluate the use of AI-enabled drones in search and rescue operations, which can independently help teams scout locations or find individuals.
