EDINBURG, Texas - Dr. Hiram Moya is associate professor and graduate coordinator in the Department of Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering at UT-Rio Grande Valley.
In a recent interview with the Rio Grande Guardian, Moya spoke about a new collaboration UTRGV is forging with the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
Moya said UTRGV will collaborate with LANL and its partner, TechSource, Inc., with LANL committing $1.5 million over three years.
He said the goal is to create a robust pathway for engineering and scientific talent to meet LANL's critical needs, particularly in preparing engineers and technologists to help solve national security challenges.
“So, we are one of the universities that are partnering with Los Alamos National Lab to bring in exposure and opportunities to the students of the Valley,” Moya said.
“We're helping Los Alamos in manufacturing and industrial engineering, but we're also helping them with engineering technologists and a variety of other engineering fields.”
