Affiliated Research Units
Advanced Manufacturing Center
The Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC) at The University of Texas at Austin, created to lead innovation and education in key sectors of manufacturing, spans many university disciplines and draws from the expertise of industry and academic leaders. Technical focus areas include semiconductor manufacturing, advanced materials processing, micro- and nano-scale manufacturing, physics-based modeling and control, small-lot and adroit manufacturing technologies and rapid manufacturing. The work within the center also includes policy, operations and management. Within this arena, AMC¡Šs mission is education, collaborative research and service to the manufacturing community.
Applied Research Laboratories
Applied Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Austin (ARL:UT), is an organized research unit which conducts programs of basic and applied research, development, engineering, testing, evaluation, and assessment germane to the Department of Defense and other government agencies.
Center for Biological And Medical Engineering
The Center for Biological and Medical Engineering provides a mechanism to enhance the conduct of research associated with the Bioengineering Thrust area in the Cockrell School of Engineering and to support and complement the academic Biomedical Engineering Program. The Center unites biological and medical engineering research of individual faculty and provides support for common administrative and laboratory needs of the faculty. The Center creates and maintains common research facilities to promote cooperative research and educational opportunities in the area of biological and medical engineering. The purpose of the Center is to improve the quality of life for citizens of Texas and the USA, to inspire and motivate students and faculty in research and learning in engineering applied to the life and medical sciences, and to create an environment for biomedical innovation for the greater BME community in Texas that will contribute to state economics and health care well being.
Center for Electromechanics
The mission of CEM is to assist Industry and Government in the development of products and processes that matter by combining university research with ever-expanding core of competence in the technologies needed to harness transient electrical and mechanical power. Equally important is our emphasis on advancing the overall mission of The University of Texas, and we have therefore further defined our objectives into three fundamental areas of RESEARCH, EDUCATION, and SERVICE.
Center for Energy And Environmental Resources
The Center for Energy and Environmental Resources serves as the central liaison for energy and environmental research and public service at The University of Texas at Austin. It focuses on efficient and economical use of energy and on ensuring a cleaner environment by developing, in cooperation with industry, processes and technologies that minimize waste and conserve natural resources.
Center for Space Research Remote Sensing Group
Research in remote sensing at CSR is an integrated effort involving applications of sensors to environmental problems and development of algorithms for extracting information from remotely sensed data acquired by space based and airborne platforms. Research is often conducted as collaborative projects involving multidisciplinary teams from engineering, biological and geological sciences, geography, computer science, and even classical archeology. The program has funded research in development of methods for topographic mapping from SAR interferometry and laser altimetry, multisensor fusion, and multiresolution methods for image segmentation and classification, with an emphasis on mapping of coastal environments.
Institute for Advanced Technology
The Institute for Advanced Technology (IAT), at The University of Texas at Austin was founded in 1990. IAT is an autonomous research unit under the Office of the Vice President for Research. The Institute supports the Army with basic and applied research in electrodynamics, hypervelocity physics, pulsed power, and education in related critical technologies.
Microelectronics Research Center
The mission of the Microelectronics Research Center (MRC) at The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) is to perform education andresearch/development in materials and electronic devices that will: 1) contribute strongly to advancements in microelectronic devices, integrated circuits, and optoelectronic components; 2) provide the training and experience for graduating students to successfully pursue a rewarding career in microelectronics; and 3) provide opportunities to perform research in: novel materials of interest to the IC industry, optoelectronics and nanophotonics, novel electronic devices and nanostructures, interconnects and packaging.
Texas Materials Institute
The Texas Materials Institute was established in 1998 to serve as a virtual department for materials science and engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. It has two primary responsibilities. One is to provide instrumentation and the associated infrastructure that are needed to conduct modern materials research. The other is to operate a graduate degree program in Materials Science and Engineering, which offers both MS and Ph.D. degrees.
