Researchers at the University of North Texas College of Engineering are leading a new consortium to further the science and applications of emerging semiconducting materials toward electronic, photonic and sensing technologies. These technologies will help advance national security capabilities, while also training a diverse workforce in these key disciplines through funding received from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA).
New research being conducted at the University of North Texas could have a major impact on future military operations. Herman Shen, chair for UNT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, and assistant professor Hector Siller have been awarded an $800,000 grant from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory.
More than ten years ago, researchers from the University of North Texas identified and measured the most blighted areas of Dallas in a study commissioned by Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity. Now, the same researchers have shared their follow-up assessment to determine if urban blight has changed in Dallas since 2011.
Please join the Faculty Success team for a 2.5 day “Mastering Dialogue” Workshop (Crucial Conversations) where you will learn 9 powerful skills for working through disagreement to achieve better results.
