The study, published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology, showed that mortality risk factors varied among cities and between urban and rural areas. The researchers examined infrastructure access, environmental factors, and lifestyle and dietary risk factors, using data from various Indian household surveys and public pollution and ambient temperature data. They then connected each factor […]

Princeton Engineering’s innovation grants began in 2008 with Project X, established by Lynn Shostack in memory of her husband David Gardner, a 1969 Princeton graduate. To date, the program has provided over $26 million in funding for more than 200 research projects. The grants support engineering faculty members in the pursuit of new ideas that push the boundaries of their disciplines and often involve collaborations with researchers in other fields.

The School of Engineering and Applied Science commended seven assistant professors for early-career excellence in research and teaching. This year’s junior faculty award recipients will each receive $50,000 to support their research.

By outfitting building walls and roadways in dense urban centers with retroreflective materials, Princeton Engineers found that it could be possible to reduce surface temperatures by up to 36°F, lower surrounding air temperatures by almost 5°F, and cool human skin temperatures by almost a degree Fahrenheit.

Princeton University has announced support for a series of scientific investigations to boost crop yields, expand pharmaceutical shelf-life, and increase the accuracy of AI medical diagnostics through the University’s Intellectual Property (IP) Accelerator Fund.

Researchers found that a specially designed cover can increase airflow into an enclosed space by channeling wind that would otherwise flow over the top.

Research projects increased flooding along the Eastern Seaboard and less flooding in the Southwest and Northern Great Plains.
