A new NSF-funded center will examine the potential for sound to revolutionize computing, communications, sensing disease in human tissue and more. Massimo Ruzzene, vice chancellor for research and innovation and dean of the institutes at CU Boulder, is a co-PI on the project.

"I could not be more excited that we’ve secured funding to help support the development of these groundbreaking labs," said Neguse. Thanks to this funding, JILA researchers and scientists will be able to complete much needed renovations—equipping this facility with the tools needed to remain a leader in their field."

“Having been part of the INSTAAR family and CU Boulder’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (ATOC) since 2010, I am confident that Nikki is poised to provide the leadership and stability to best serve the institute during this time,” said Massimo Ruzzene, vice chancellor for Research and Innovation and dean of the institutes.

CU Boulder is a partner of the CO-WY Engine, one of 16 finalists for NSF's inaugural Regional Innovation Engines competition, which could net winners $160M over 10 years. NSF Engines funds regional hubs that will increase the speed and scale of emerging, critical and use-inspired technology.

The Principal Investigator (PI) Academy is designed to orient new and early career faculty to research and creative work resources available on campus. A virtual kickoff will welcome new and returning faculty on August 25th, 10–11 a.m.

Venture Partners at CU Boulder has officially launched its first Embark Entrepreneurs in Residence cohort. Embark aims to connect business minds outside the university with breakthrough inventions emerging from CU Boulder's research labs to bring them to market.

Mija Hubler and her team of CU Boulder researchers and partners are developing technology that infuses concrete with self-repair capabilities found in living organisms. If successful, the project will not only prevent new damage, but also reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of infrastructure.

Imagine an iPad that’s more than just an iPad—with a surface that can morph and deform, allowing you to draw 3D designs, create haiku that jump out from the screen and even hold your partner’s hand from an ocean away. That’s the vision of a team of engineers from CU Boulder.

A new laboratory for a plasma wind tunnel is taking shape at the Aerospace Engineering Sciences Building. The project, the vision of Assistant Professor Hisham Ali, will allow his team to study the conditions of atmospheric reentry, when a spacecraft returning to Earth can hit speeds of Mach 30.

Drs. Allison Kanner-Botan (Religious Studies) and Isaac Javier Rivera (Geography) join 13 other prior Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship for Faculty Diversity recipients. Applications for the next cycle open Aug. 1 and are due Nov. 1.
