MATRIX Lab Establishes Industry Advisory BoardThe University of Maryland (UMD) Clark School of Engineering MATRIX Lab has completed and formalized its inaugural Industry Advisory Board (IAB). This diverse group, which covers several sectors, will help establish industry partnerships and guide research. MATRIX Lab IAB members include:
“This IAB allows the MATRIX Lab to hear directly from industry on how to best execute our mission of preparing students to enter the workforce,” Dr. Reza Ghodssi, Herbert Rabin Distinguished Chair in Engineering at UMD and the Executive Director of Research and Innovation at the MATRIX Lab. “Our new IAB will help the MATRIX Lab advance our research and improve the education we offer by providing real-world assessments of the work we do.” “We are looking forward to offering the best feedback we can to support both students and researchers,” said Dr. Vikram Manikonda, MATRIX Lab IAB Chair. “This direct connection to cutting-edge research and the future workforce is invaluable, and we hope to take some of what we learn from the University of Maryland and the MATRIX Lab back to our own organizations.” The MATRIX Lab team will meet with its board members in March 2025 and will include progress updates in our MATRIX Lab newsletter moving forward.
