We are delighted to welcome you to campus to participate in this year’s symposium, a full day in-person event on Wednesday, April 6th with a focus
on how the Institute enables and grows synergies and collaborations, across campus and with external partners, laying the foundation for
breakthrough scientific and technological innovation. We are honored to have Dr. Ahmad Bahai, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer
of Texas Instruments, as our morning keynote speaker, followed by four panel discussions focused on materials in bioengineering, water and energy,
advanced manufacturing, and entrepreneurship, along with five presentations by new faculty and a lunchtime talk on the startup ecosystem.
