Four reasons the force may be with the NM SMART Grid Center
Dr. Trilce Estrada, an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at UNM and a faculty member of the NM SMART Grid Center Decision Support research team, has been selected as one of the New Mexico Technology Council's 2022 Women in Tech.
David Mitchell is tackling two of society’s biggest problems with one ambitious project.
I will be retiring from EPSCoR and UNM on March 1st. Now is a good time to take a brief look back over the past roughly 15 years that I have served as Director of New Mexico EPSCoR and the 21 years that I have been at UNM. I joined UNM in 2000, the year that coincided with New Mexico officially becoming an EPSCoR state.
Team members from New Mexico EPSCoR's NM SMART Grid Center have earned the distinction of being among the top 2% of scientists worldwide as measured by the impact of their research publications.
