UT Austin's 2022 Sandia Day (Summary Report)
On March 30th and 31st, 2022, the University of Texas at Austin (UT) Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) hosted Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) for “Sandia Day at UT Austin” to understand the status of the strategic partnership and explore opportunities for partnership growth. The event brought together more than 115 UT and Sandia participants including executive leadership, researchers, faculty, staff, and students. Sandia Day primarily consisted of a half-day leadership meeting, a research poster session and networking event, and three break-out sessions focused on strategic priority areas: Microelectronics, Energy and Climate Security, and High-Performance and Edge Computing. Appendix A contains the full Sandia Day agenda. Additional meetings and workshops (adjunct meetings) were held in conjunction with Sandia Day to maximize partnership exploration. Adjunct meetings were Hypersonics, Decarbonization, Disinformation, and Battery Workshops. A summary of Sandia Day events, sessions, and meetings follows.
Sandia Academic Alliance Program Collaboration Report: 2020-2021 Accomplishments
University partnerships play an essential role in sustaining Sandia’s vitality as a national laboratory. The SAA is an element of Sandia’s broader University Partnerships program, which facilitates recruiting and research collaborations with dozens of universities annually. The SAA program has two three-year goals. SAA aims to realize a step increase in hiring results, by growing the total annual inexperienced hires from each out-of-state SAA university. SAA also strives to establish and sustain strategic research partnerships by establishing several federally sponsored collaborations and multi-institutional consortiums in science & technology (S&T) priorities such as autonomy, advanced computing, hypersonics, quantum information science, and data science. The SAA program facilitates access to talent, ideas, and Research & Development facilities through strong university partnerships. Earlier this year, the SAA program and campus executives hosted John Myers, Sandia’s former Senior Director of Human Resources (HR) and Communications, and senior-level staff at Georgia Tech, U of Illinois, Purdue, UNM, and UT Austin. These campus visits provided an opportunity to share the history of the partnerships from the university leadership, tours of research facilities, and discussions of ongoing technical work and potential recruiting opportunities. These visits also provided valuable feedback to HR management that will help Sandia realize a step increase in hiring from SAA schools. The 2020-2021 Collaboration Report is a compilation of accomplishments in 2020 and 2021 from SAA and Sandia’s valued SAA university partners.
