Rice University is at the forefront of research addressing global challenges such as climate change, water pollution, economic and social disparities, and rising rates of cancer. The university has a new business building named Asha and Farid Virani Hall and a partnership with Max Planck advancing quantum materials. Rice’s interdisciplinary institutes drive progress in nanoscale science, computing, quantum studies, and collaborative research across biology, chemistry, and engineering. Recent research includes molecular jackhammers’ vibrations eradicating cancer cells, a blue carbon project in Galveston Bay, a novel electrochemical reactor for lithium extraction, and an AI system for sensing flooded roads. Rice’s research funding supports direct costs, graduate and undergraduate stipends, lab equipment, and travel. The graduate and undergraduate student populations are almost equal.
