Pioneering the future of power
REIMAGINING A POWER GRID TEXANS CAN COUNT ON
The state’s ability to reliably light homes, businesses and communities has made the power grid a source of profound worry for Texans. Economists and engineers at the University of Houston are working to develop long-term solutions that would help put people’s minds at ease. Innovations in market design, utility-scale battery systems and Artificial Intelligence-driven networks of microgrids highlight how researchers at UH, The Energy University, are laying sustainable foundations for the power grid of the future.
Moments of Momentum
Scientific Solutions to Address Society’s Pressing Needs
Not only are breakthroughs at UH’s Drug Discovery Institute helping solve some of the most pressing challenges of our time, they remain intimately connected to everyday life for millions of people. With a fentanyl overdose prevention vaccine, blood testing technology to detect early-stage cancer and combination therapies designed to outsmart multidrug resistant bacteria, the Drug Discovery Institute is turning complex science into medicines that could bring both healing and hope.
Community-centered innovation
Interwoven Health Care for the Entire Community
Holistic care is at the core of UH Health, where the next generation of providers are trained to see innovation as inherently interdisciplinary. Faculty and students studying medicine, behavioral health, nursing, pharmacy, optometry, social work, music therapy and more are addressing the clinical factors that cause chronic disease. Comprised of the on-campus Family Care Center, the in-community Household- Centered Care Program and a suite of allied medical programs, UH Health is cultivating an ecosystem of empowerment for the entire community by removing the barriers that prevent underserved populations from receiving care.
Moments of Momentum
Commitment beyond the classroom
The stress and stigma of socioeconomic insecurity can cast a shadow across the entire college experience. Researchers say 1 in 3 students face food insecurity, while many consider leaving college altogether due to financial stress. Investing in their sense of stability renews students’ relationships with academia, while reaping immense rewards in performance and retention. The Cougar Cupboard — an on-campus food pantry designed to meet students’ needs with dignity — is one of many holistic programs UH is implementing to ensure students are equipped with all the resources they need to succeed.
UH Innovation Building an Unstoppable Momentum.
Advancing solutions for sustainable energy, the drug discovery process, interdisciplinary health care and student stability allows UH to make lasting solutions to pressing problems across industries and communities.
