Although they expressed concern about whether federal research funding would continue, panelists at a Longmont Economic Development Partnership summit on Tuesday agreed that industries involved in quantum computing would continue to grow.
If the University of Wyoming were to shut down, it would be an immediate jerk to the state’s economy and standard of living, essentially triggering a recession, according to a recent economic impact report from UW’s College of Business.
Founded in the late 1990s by University of Denver faculty members Paul Rullkoetter, Ph.D., and Peter Laz, Ph.D., the Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics has helped catalyze a wide range of innovations in implants and relevant surgeries in the years since.
Colorado — and particularly the Boulder area — has for decades been a global epicenter for quantum research, and now, as that research is beginning to be commercialized, business, government and higher-education leaders are jockeying to position the state and region as titans of the emerging quantum economy.
Given its vastness and seemingly unlimited potential, it seems a bit silly to think about attempting to tame space with man-made regulations. But as humanity casts its gaze further into the cosmos and fills Earth’s orbit with more satellites, space craft and debris, conversations — like the one organized Monday by Silicon Flatirons — about space policy and the development of an international framework for regulations will likely become more commonplace.
Research at the University of Denver is showing promise for the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Sunil Kumar, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry at DU and its Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging, is leading the research.
Researchers from the University of Denver and National Jewish Health have teamed up to study how pollutants move around the Denver metro area and develop better forecasting models and more-actionable warning systems.
