Konrad (Koni) Steffen always had a smile and a kind word to say – to another scientist, a staff member, to the graduate student of a colleague. And it seemed, at times, like he could do anything: brief Congress, ford a meltwater river on a snowmachine, mesmerize journalists with tales of his time on the ice.

The Research & Innovation Office will host three 75-minute webinars Aug. 6–12 featuring some of ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ’s top researchers working side-by-side with the campus's exceptional operations experts. The series highlights how the most up-to-date research is shaping campus operations during the pandemic.

By combining expertise at both CU Anschutz and ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ in biosciences, engineering, biotechnology, space, pharmacology, public health, mental health and many other areas, AB Nexus will create opportunities to drive innovation and win competitive research awards.

Today, NSF announced that ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ will receive a $25 million award to launch a new quantum science and engineering research center. The new center will be led by physicist Jun Ye and is a partnership with 11 other research organizations in the United States and abroad.

Starting on Monday, July 13, ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ’s research enterprise will begin transitioning to “expanded work on-campus and in the field” (Phase 2) from the current limited on-campus and field work (Phase 1).

����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ has been selected to lead a new multi-university, industry-focused research Center on Pervasive Personalized Intelligence through the National Science Foundation. The new center, created in partnership with Oregon State University, already has support from several global corporations.

The University of Colorado jumped from No. 53 to No. 20 in a recent global ranking of the top 100 universities granted U.S. utility patents for an array of inventions and innovations that can have far-reaching and positive impacts on society.

The Distinguished Research Lectureship is among the highest honors bestowed by the faculty upon a ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ colleague. Each year, the Research & Innovation Office (RIO) requests nominations and a faculty review panel recommends one or more faculty members as recipients. The deadline for nominations is Monday, June 8.

We will gradually start to resume research and creative work on campus starting Tuesday, May 26. Anyone approved to return to on-campus work must apply using the Request to Return form and complete a new Skillsoft training ("COVID-19 Awareness and Safety"), as well as a daily health assessment.
