The Quantum Engineering Initiative (QEI) Collaboration Lab will encourage cross-campus research and experiments in the high-impact field of quantum engineering.
Professor Greg Rieker and Ryan Cole (PhDMechEngr’21) have developed an experiment that recreates the climates of planets beyond our solar system right in the lab. By reaching the same high-temperature and high-pressure conditions found on many exoplanets, the instrument can map their atmospheres, which could help humanity detect life outside our solar system.
Mechanical engineering Professors Mark Rentschler and Greg Rieker, as well as Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology Professor Tin Tin Su, received the honor recognizing their thought-leadership and discovery on Monday, Nov. 1.
A new $25 million center to advance quantum science on CU Boulder’s campus has deep roots in CU Engineering’s interdisciplinary research efforts.
The National Science Foundation announced that CU Boulder will receive a $25 million award to launch a new quantum science and engineering research center led by physicist Jun Ye and involving researchers like Greg Rieker in the mechanical engineering department.
