This year’s Research Symposium was held virtually from November 8 to 12, 2021. The program was topical and hosted a variety of speakers, posters, and awards honoring science, STEM, and research contributions in New Mexico through a space lens. 

Tohid Khalili is a PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico, and an exceptional example of success in higher education STEM. He participates in NM SMART Grid Center research under the direction of UNM faculty member Dr. Ali Bidram. In Summer 2021, he was supported as an extern with the City of Albuquerque.

Coffee & Code: Programming Concepts with Python This workshop is part of UNM's Research Data Services Coffee & Code workshop series that focus on tools and strategies that make data management, analysis, visualization, communication, and sharing more efficient and more fun. This Fall we are doubling the fun with two workshops each month for September and October.

In this webinar, you'll experience the basic principles of user experience design and how to apply them to making the system of science more efficient and fun to use. You will see seminal, universally-applicable design research communicated through animations, live demos, and silly graphics. At the end, you will (hopefully) have leveled-up your approach to designing all forms of science communication (especially posters, but this will apply to reports, presentations, and tools too).

Abstracts for the 2021 New Mexico Research Symposium has been extended to October 15, 2021 Register for the symposium and submit an abstract here.

The Team Science Leadership Training is a three-day residential workshop targeted for mid-career or senior faculty to develop skills for managing collaborative, interdisciplinary, and complex projects. Key elements of the training include: building and leading diverse and productive teams, project management skills, strategic planning, and communications. Lodging, meals, and workshop materials will be provided.

Researchers at The University of New Mexico are leading a $15 million, five-year project funded by the National Science Foundation that will engage communities in the American Intermountain West to collaboratively address the impacts of climate change, including drought, wildfires and community well-being.
