Summer Symposium Showcases Emerging Researchers, Scholars and Artists

Among the general public, scientific research is not typically thought of as a team activity. Most of us can rattle off names such as Darwin, Einstein and Hawking, but it takes a more thorough knowledge to be able to recite the names of any of these icons’ collaborators. After this year’s UTEP Campus Office of Undergraduate Research Initiatives (COURI) Summer Symposium, however, it appears the days of the ‘lone scientist’ myth are numbered.

The University of Texas at El Paso will establish a new federally funded center focused on energy and biomaterials after being named a recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) award totaling nearly $4 million. The new Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) Center for Advanced Materials Research — which will be run in collaboration with the University of California, Santa Barbara — will focus its research in two areas of materials science and involve various UTEP faculty members including, from left, Skye Fortier, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry; Thomas Boland, Ph.D., professor of metallurgical and materials engineering; Ramana Chintalapalle, Ph.D., professor of mechanical engineering and the new UTEP PREM center’s director; and Katja Michael, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Chemistry.

Aconity3D, Emerging Tech Leader in Laser-Based Additive Manufacturing, to Make Home at UTEP

The University of Texas at El Paso will serve as the North American base of operations for Aconity3D, one of the world’s emerging technology leaders in the production of 3D printing equipment, under a new agreement announced by the two organizations this summer. Aconity3D, which is based in Herzogenrath, Germany, develops laser-based 3D printing machines for fabrication of complex metal parts for use in airplanes, automobiles, medical implants and more.

Diabetes Garage Puts Men on Track to Manage Disease

Looking after your health is like doing routine maintenance on your car. If you do not change the oil in your vehicle or you skip doctor’s appointments, your car and your body will begin to break down.
