Message From the Associate Dean for Research

CLippitt.jpg

This spring, two pivotal events for the College - and the University as a whole - will bring students, faculty, and our external community together in the spirit of advancing our research and scholarship efforts.


Team Research Symposium

Last year, the Team Research Symposium brought nearly 200 people across campus together (virtually) to share best practices and promote the work that our research teams are producing. This year, the event, which is scheduled for April 19-21, will be expanded as a hybrid event open to all faculty, students, staff, alumni, and industry. A call for presenters is now open for faculty and alumni, and student teams are also encouraged to submit their proposals for the Student Team Research Concept competitions. Please help us spread the word about this special team building event - and consider participating as well. Questions about the Team Research Symposium can be sent to Teams@unm.edu.


Quantum New Mexico Symposium

The opportunities for students to expand on their education in Quantum Information Science (QIS) will continue to grow with the establishment of the Quantum New Mexico (QNM) Institute. In partnership with the Sandia National Labs, this academic institute will bring together experts QIS to collaborate on research projects between UNM and Sandia. To launch the QNM Institute and build on New Mexico’s history as a quantum state, a Quantum Symposium is being planned for March 31 – April 1, 2022. Over the course of these two days, our campus community, along with our external partners, will gather together to learn about the Institute’s goals and form strategic partnerships in order to meet those goals. For more information, or to be put on the invitation list, please contact QNM@unm.edu.
