Research Centers
Advanced Imaging Research Center
The Advanced Imaging Research Center (AIRC) is a collaborative effort with UT Southwestern and other institutions in North Texas to further the efforts of imaging and translational research. Imaging equipment is managed by the AIRC and located within specially designed magnet bays.
The AIRC also houses a chemistry lab for development of imaging agents used to visualize cellular functions and assist researchers in their studies of: liver function, diabetes, functional brain images, cancer, and cardiac conditions.
Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute
The Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute seeks to eliminate the boundaries that interfere with the transition from science to technology, and from technology to product, on the nanoscale.
A major focus of the institute is NanoEnergetics which will help generate game-changing technologies for energy harvesting, storage, transmission and conversion, leading to new products, companies and job opportunities.
Quantum Information Science Initiative
William B. Hanson Center for Space Sciences
The William B. Hanson Center for Space Sciences advances the understanding of the evolution of solar system bodies by being involved in the design, construction and flight of space plasma sensors for spacecraft and rockets, the development of software and analysis tools for data interpretation, and the advancement of numerical models of the solar terrestrial environment.
