NM EPSCoR works to support the next generation of STEM professionals in New Mexico. In the current award, the NM SMART Grid Center, we are pairing project students with New Mexico organizations through our Externship program.
We are delighted to announce the 2022 NM EPSCoR Mentor Award winners—Dr. Manel Martínez-Ramón and Dr. Jun Zheng. Both were nominated by mentees and demonstrated characteristics of exceptional mentors, including strong professional and interpersonal relationships; working to advance their mentees’ academic, research, and professional goals; and creating inclusive environments for diverse students.
After a few hard years (and a couple of false starts) the Open House will be back in person. We are excited about the event and we hope you are excited to participate. Below are the important details for you to know.
Ways to Participate
There are three main ways for you to participate:
The National Science Foundation has awarded researchers at the University of New Mexico (UNM) and the University of Delaware (UD) an EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) Track 2 grant for $4 million to advance quantum photonic technology research and to establish a quantum science and engineering graduate program at UNM.
Students do NOT have to be from UNM to attend! Our intent for this session is to give you an idea of who we are and introduce you a bit more to what Engineering is! Followed by Spatial Reasoning, also thought of as Visual Thinking, to expose you to the concept of spatial reasoning, the importance of it, and how to develop your spatial reasoning skills to make your journey as an engineer or computer scientist just a little easier.
Four reasons the force may be with the NM SMART Grid Center
David Mitchell is tackling two of society’s biggest problems with one ambitious project. The New Mexico State University assistant professor is researching technological methods to increase the world’s rapidly increasing need for expanded communications capacity.
