Materials and Manufacturing 52 | The University of Texas at El Paso
Shaping ideas and creating economic opportunity Materials and manufacturing are two of the most dynamic fields of research at UTEP, where chemists and engineers are turning smart ideas into innovative products with commercial potential. Here are just some of their projects: • The Materials Research and Technology Institute is creating start-up companies to market environmentally-friendly fuel and materials technologies developed by UTEP researchers. • Carl W. Dirk, Ph.D., a professor of physical and organic chemistry, has drawn the attention of the art world with a patented light filter that protects delicate works of art from photochemical damage. • An electrical and computer engineering research team recently produced a million-transistor microchip designed to detect electrical faults in appliances. • At the W.M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation, research groups are developing micro-scale electronics as well as implantable devices for tissue engineering. • Semiconductor work is being taken to a microscopic level in the College of Engineering’s new NanoMaterials Integration Laboratory. • Nanoscale research also is being conducted by Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry Geoffrey Saupe, Ph.D., who is revealing new and unusual behaviors of materials at the nanometer level. Throughout the University, industry and government agencies are tapping the expertise of UTEP researchers for development of innovative solutions for real-world problems. Research Guide | 53
