Congrats @rasheed_rawand and Helix Earth - looking forward to our company's continued growth and impact on saving energy!
helixearth.com
We create accelerated liquid-gas chemical processes for hyper efficient commerical HVAC and CO2 capture devices to help make the built world a cooler, cleaner place.
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.

Check out Marquise Bell's seminar at @CaltechEAS if you are in town - he will discuss his @NASA-funded work on textile materials leading to his future vision for self-powered and multifunctional spacesuits, assistive devices, and beyond.

Great job by @Fayeyap25 defending her PhD thesis in @RiceMECH! Her work applied reaction kinetics to understand virus inactivation, elastomer curing, and manufacturing of soft robots, and she will start her own lab as a faculty member at @uhmanoa in January.
