How Proposers Day pairs ASU Researchers, companies to identify industry challenges
Reaching the goal of Arizona’s New Economy Initiative to make the state one of the leading technology hubs in the U.S. will hinge on the research progress made at facilities such as ASU’s five Science and Technology Centers. Fulton Schools Associate Professor Zachary Holman (pictured), director of the centers’ Advanced Materials, Processes, and Energy Devices research program, talks about Proposers Day events that are bringing ASU engineers and scientists together with industry leaders to explore ways to fulfill the ambitious aspirations set forth in the initiative. Holman says a competition to win funding for promising research to overcome major technological challenges is one way the centers’ leaders hope to inspire innovative outcomes.
