RD Support Helps New Quantum Professor Build Connections Across Campus

Adrian Del Maestro joined UT in August 2020 as the first hire in UT’s interdisciplinary research cluster on Quantum Materials for Future Technologies. After joining the university, he reached out to Kiley Compton, research development manager in the Office of Research and Engagement, who helped introduce him to potential collaborators. As a result, he was able to put together an interdisciplinary team that submitted a $12 million proposal to the National Science Foundation’s Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR) Institute program in January.
