Rice’s Technology Development Fund backs faculty projects

December 10, 2021

Nine projects proposed by Rice researchers have been granted seed funding by Creative Ventures' Technology Development Fund.

Rice University statisticians matched health data from earlier studies that linked asthma attacks among schoolchildren and cardiac arrest to pollution in Houston neighborhoods to determine where planting “super trees” would have the most benefit. In this map, the red hatch marks show regions of high incidence of ambulance-treated asthma attacks and/or cardiac arrest.
