More event details will be published in the months to come. The New Mexico Research Symposium (NMRS), collaboratively hosted with the New Mexico Academy of Science (NMAS), is an annual conference with oral presentations, a poster competition, and a keynote address. The conference is geared to undergraduate and graduate students from New Mexico’s colleges and universities. All accepted abstracts have the option to be published in the New Mexico Journal of Science.
What does it look like when a state recognizes the quiet but steady work of its research community? On January 29, the New Mexico House of Representatives offered an answer to that question by formally acknowledging NM EPSCoR for its contributions to the state’s research ecosystem.
The event on "Research Awareness in Artificial Intelligence" is aimed for currently enrolled Mathematical Sciences (i.e.,
Research Infrastructure Optimization for New Mexico (RIO-NM) has announced the recipients of its Fall 2025 Supporting Undergraduate Research Experiences (SURE) awards, recognizing three innovative projects that will expand hands-on research opportunities for students across the state. The awards, totaling $49,261, support initiatives in artificial intelligence in computer science education, conservation biology, and fungal ecology.
ALBUQUERQUE — On November 15, the 12th annual New Mexico Research Symposium (NMRS) drew 77 student researchers for its poster session, nearly double the participation from previous years. More than 200 students, faculty, scientists, researchers, and community members from across the state presented their work, networked with peers, and experienced a professional scientific conference.
Two proposals have been selected for NM EPSCoR RIO-NM Seed Award funding, with each project receiving $50,000 to support transformative research and capacity building. The first project, led by PI Jiakai Zhang and co-PI Jun Zheng at New Mexico Tech, will create New Mexico’s first high-resolution Economic Development Index—providing state decision-makers with improved data to inform policy and infrastructure planning.
