Recent @ricePILab & @RiceMECH PhD grad @rasheed_rawand '23 was named to the @Forbes 30 Under 30! His company Helix Earth is lowering power bills and saving energy for AC systems. #ForbesUnder30 https://t.co/itE6uNsdLV
Helix Earth, a clean-tech company started by Rice alumnus Rawand Rasheed ’23, has secured $5.6 million in seed funding. This investment will help accelerate the development of retrofit devices to reduce energy consumption in air-conditioning systems. https://t.co/a05w3PXeLY
Dear friends who write NSF GRFP rec letters, this year rec letters are due BEFORE the applications, so about 10 days earlier than normal on Oct. 11. Please don't let NSF's deadline change on rec letters screw over the applicants in your lives.
In new work from @ricePILab in @ACS_Langmuir, we go beyond the Washburn relationship: inverse design & additive manufacturing produce wicking materials with atypical fluid propagation for low-cost diagnostics, thermal management, and more. https://t.co/jq9blACf16
Two covers from @RiceMECH in the same issue of @Advintellsyst! Our work from @ricePILab on sheet-based fluidic diodes and collaborative work on multiscale haptics led by @MarcieOMalley's MAHI lab were both selected for covers in the July issue.

Happy to share our work led by @ranoop93 on fluidic resistors made from soft porous foams for embedded sensing and control in #softrobots and #wearables, out today in @WileyVCH Advanced Functional Materials: https://t.co/N6gwUbqNp3
We show fluidic diodes made from lightweight flexible sheets, including #textiles, in a paper in @Advintellsyst published last week. Beyond simply enforcing one-way flow, they enable #logic, encoding, and rectification. https://t.co/yoDwN2KuWW
Congrats @Zhen_Skyii on winning the @RiceMECH Research Excellence Award! Pictured here giving a special seminar to the department in recognition of the award.
The @RiceMECH NHTL and @ricePILab show Teflon AF–coated nanotextured aluminum surfaces for "jumping droplet" thermal rectification in our new paper published today: https://t.co/DaCqRc1aUN
Congrats @rasheed_rawand on the publication of your paper on multiplexed inertial coalescence filters with @ricePILab!
Rawand's company, Helix Earth Technologies (currently at @GreentownLabs in #Houston), is hiring for multiple engineering roles.
