Companies at the conference, which will be held in Breckenridge on September 12 and 13, represent the future of life-saving health innovation from the Rocky Mountain West. They will pitch to angel investors, venture capitalists and strategic partners from major financial hubs.
The AB Nexus program provides joint-campus funding and resources to catalyze research collaborations between CU Boulder and CU Anschutz. Collectively, the seven winning teams for the 2024 award cycle will receive $713K in funding to advance cutting-edge research that improves human health and well-being.
Professor Bethany Wilcox (Physics) and Graduate Research Fellow Josephine Meyer discuss how courses designed to introduce students to the basics of quantum information science have the opportunity to disrupt some of the systemic inequities that currently plague our educational systems.
Priority areas for this cycle include complex Earth sensing, soil carbon capture data and analytics, methane emissions analysis, extreme weather modeling, wildfire risk and prediction, and water availability prediction.
To learn more about how dust particles may affect future missions, NASA has awarded $1M to a team from CU Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) to develop a dust analyzer capable of measuring the speed, size and charge of tiny dust particles on rocky bodies less than 5 kilometers across.
ATLAS professor Ellen Do has worked to cultivate relationships between CU Boulder 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 Boulder 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.
