About NS&M Research and Interdisciplinary Programs
Welcome to our research website! As the first Associate Dean of Research and Interdisciplinary Programs my goal is to provide research-related services to the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics faculty and to promote interdisciplinary projects among faculty members within the university and beyond.
In line with The University of Texas at Dallas’ aspiration to become one of the nation’s premier research universities, our objective is to facilitate interactions between professors and industrial partners with the goal of developing successful collaborations.

$30M in Contracts and Grants by 2015
Our school’s research funding total for 2005 exceeded $14 million. Our goal by 2015 is to achieve $30 million. In order to achieve this, we must maintain an annual growth rate of between eight and ten percent by increasing project activity among faculty members and industry partners.
The Time is Now: Interdisciplinary Synergy
The physical sciences have brought forth understanding of the mechanics of the universe. This knowledge has been successfully applied to engineering disciplines to solve 20th and 21st century problems.
