Congratulations to Professor Rajat Mittal and postdoctoral scholar Neda Yaghoobian, who, along with teammate Ciaran Harman, (Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering), have received a seed grant from the Environment, Energy, Sustainability and Health Institute (E²SHI). Their project will look to termite mounds as inspiration in modeling new approaches for ventilation and reducing energy consumption in buildings.
E²SHI’s seed grant program provides up to $25,000 for research teams comprised of Johns Hopkins faculty, staff researchers, as well as visiting and post-doctoral scholars to collaborate on projects aimed at diagnosing and solving environmental and sustainability challenges.
