Purdue, Argonne sign MOU to collaborate on chips, quantum and other key research areas
Paul Kearns, director of Argonne National Laboratory, and Karen Plaut, Purdue’s executive vice president for research, sign an MOU that will encourage research collaborations between the organizations to advance joint research efforts and faculty and student exchanges in critical research areas.
Leaders from Purdue University and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory on Monday (Sept. 9) signed a memorandum of understanding to promote collaborative research between Purdue and Argonne in areas of common scientific and technical interest. Those areas include microelectronics, quantum information science, materials science, nuclear science and engineering, computing, and energy storage materials and recycling. The signing took place in advance of a full-day conference on Purdue’s campus hosted by the Council of Competitiveness that convened leaders from academia, industry and government to continue to advance innovation in chips, qubits and molecules in the Indiana-Illinois Innovation Corridor.
