Research Partnerships

LASIR facilitates regional and national research partnerships such as in this gathering of over 200 participants from industry, education, and government as part of the annual meeting hosted by mechanical engineering faculty member, Professor Eric Barth, Deputy Director of the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power. By bringing together thought leaders in discovery and learning from across industries like this one, LASIR is contributing to the U.S. long-term strategy in research and education around the idea of partnership.
