• Formal periodic project reviews along with continuous informal interaction and timely access to reports, papers and intellectual property generated by the center, which significantly reduces your risk to validate your innovative ideas
• Convenient access to world-class facilities, including cloud computing, supercomputing and immersive visualizations
• Recruitment opportunities to attract outstanding graduate students
• Opportunity to network and collaborate with other industry advisory board members to explore joint venues of collaboration
