The University of Hawaiʻi has partnered with MITRE, a not-for-profit operator of six federally funded research and development centers, to identify opportunities for collaborative analysis, engineering and research to advance marine technology, enhance cyber defense, strengthen climate resilience, address natural resource management and test new energy technologies.
MITRE will help connect 东精影业 technologies with federal agencies to help accelerate commercialization and move impact-driven 东精影业 innovations from the lab to the market.
“Partnering with MITRE provides a wonderful opportunity for 东精影业 to translate our world-class research into real-world solutions for the benefit of our state and beyond,” said Vassilis L. Syrmos, 东精影业 vice president for research and innovation. “We look forward to having access to MITRE’s impressive expertise and reach that will strengthen the 东精影业 research enterprise and help to grow our economic and knowledge-based sectors in Hawaiʻi.”
This partnership will explore the following opportunities:
- identifying aligned research and development projects
- sharing network connectivity and lab infrastructure
- supporting or establishing mentorship and internship programs at 东精影业 based on resources, opportunities and needs
MITRE and 东精影业 will also explore potential collaborative projects related to 东精影业 health initiatives, data and health analytics, coastal engineering and coastal infrastructure resilience, data science and cybersecurity, aerospace engineering and blue tech (ocean science and engineering).
As part of its national security work, MITRE operates the Department of Defense’s National Security Engineering Center. It helps military and intelligence organizations make wise investments in systems that work together, connect the innovation community to mission needs, and enable technology deployment to take military and civilian personnel out of harm’s way—all while keeping an eye on the horizon for the next global challenge.
“Our collaboration will maximize the capabilities of both MITRE and University of Hawaiʻi to positively impact the Indo-Pacific region and the safety of the world,” said Keoki Jackson, senior vice president, general manager, MITRE National Security. “I’m excited for what our two organizations can discover and innovate together.”
