Greg Rieker, associate professor of mechanical engineering and co-founder of LongPath Technologies, gathered with others on the CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ campus to celebrate a $162.4 million loan package from the U.S. Department of Energy. The loan will help Rieker and LongPath expand methane detection using laser-based quantum devices that scan the atmosphere in real time.
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 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ’s campus has deep roots in CU Engineering’s interdisciplinary research efforts.
The National Science Foundation announced that CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ 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.
