Industries
N/A
Services
Collaborative research and sponsored R&D
Project-based research collaborations with industry, government and academic partners including proposal support and management of externally sponsored projects.
Prototyping and low-volume manufacturing
On-site rapid-turn prototyping and low-volume fabrication using additive and subtractive technologies, with process-development support for manufacturability and assembly.
Testbed, netted outdoor drone facility and laboratory access
Scheduled access to specialized testbeds and a netted outdoor drone facility with integrated motion-capture localization, wireless coverage and a control/observation center; includes technical staff support and training for test execution and disaster-response or counter-UAS scenario exercises.
Materials characterization and analytical testing
On-site analytical services including high-resolution imaging and surface analysis to support materials R&D, failure analysis and device validation.
Technology transfer and commercialization support
Advisory, patenting and licensing support to move technologies from prototype to market, including access to institutional IP resources.
Seminars, workshops and workforce training
Regular seminar series, technical workshops and student research assistant programs that provide training, dissemination of research results and engagement with external partners.
