Industry Liaisons

We are also engaged with industry liaisons who are providing guidance on a range of SPI2 research projects supported currently by the NSF POETS ERC, including representatives from Ford Motor Company, Autodesk Research, Toyota (TRINA), CU Aerospace Ltd., and PCKA. We are working to grow our network of SPI2 system design stakeholders to help position our research community to succeed in tackling critical SPI2 engineering problems that are facing society.
