Collaboration
at CHTM

CHTM
collaborates with researchers in other Universities, Government
Laboratories and Industry both locally and nationally. These interactions
are helping to create a "SouthWest Hi-Tech" corridor that
is attracting new businesses to New Mexico. On a broader perspective,
these collaborations allow CHTM investigators to work on technical
issues that are relevant to government and industry. CHTM's graduate
students get to interact with peer researchers and peer organizations,
and collaboration represents a valuable component of a student's
professional development and education.
Collaboration
with Other Universities
Many
of CHTMs' research programs are multi-institutional involving collaboration
with other Universities. These Multi-University teams allow CHTM
to recruit the specific expertise that is needed for a comprehensive
technical approach to a major research challenge.
CHTM's
Collaboration with Government Laboratories
The
government Laboratories in New Mexico and elsewhere contain a wealth
of advanced technology and our interaction with these is mutually
beneficial. A New Mexico success story in this area is the Alliance
for Photonic Technology (APT). CHTM played a leadership role in
the creation of the APT, which has the charter of enhancing the
competitiveness of US industry in critical photonics technology.
A key role of APT is the acceleration of technology transfer from
University and federal laboratories to industry by providing a focus
through which industry can review the technology capabilities of
the core participants and negotiate for licensing or technology
transfer.
The
Core Participants of APT are:
- Center
for High Technology Materials at UNM
- Sandia
National Laboratories
- Los
Alamos National Laboratory
- Air
Force's Phillips Laboratory
