The University of Texas at Dallas held the very first Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium Executive Committee (TSIC EC) earlier this spring on March 19th. The consortium is headed by Dr. David E. Daniel, president emeritus of UT Dallas. Texas Governor Greg Abbott was also present to announce the inaugural members. The consortium will work with industry stakeholders to ensure Texas’ place as a national leader in advanced semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing. Sixteen universities across Texas will have a representative on the consortium.
“This is a great opportunity for our faculty and our students,” said Dr. Manuel Quevedo, the UT Dallas representative for the consortium. “We have been heavily involved in this research for more than 20 years, and we are in a good position to expand training and innovation.”
