Presentations by NASCENT researchers

Presenters from thrust projects P-1A and P-1B

A free event: ATI’s Student Entrepreneur Acceleration and Launch (SEAL) program picks the most promising startups emerging from the wide range of entrepreneurial programs at the University of Texas at Austin – along with other universities and community entrepreneurs – to help them confront the next Go / No-Go decision. Austin Technology Incubator’s SEAL program facilitates an environment for student entrepreneurs to discover whether or not it’s time to go all in.

NASCENT Center researchers, leadership, staff, Industrial Advisory Board and Science Advisory Board members, and NSF representatives gather to review the center’s progress.

I-Corps aims to increase the economic impact of university research through regional training opportunities and grants from the National Science Foundation. The Southwest Node includes partnerships with five institutions: The University of Texas at Austin, Texas Tech University, Texas A&M University, Rice University, and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Center.

The Student Leadership Council has gathered a very strong set of panelists representing the various career trajectories, namely industry, academia, startups, and national labs. Dr. Derek Bassett from Tokyo Electron, Dr. Maura Borrego from the UT Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Meghali Chopra, founder of Sandbox Semiconductor (and former NASCENT graduate student), and Dr. Randy Schunk from Sandia National Labs. Please see the Event Details for more information on the panelists.
