In the article, it mentions that UTSA is "educating and preparing the next generation of scientists and engineers to provide innovative solutions to the grand challenges in nuclear security." Between the College of Sciences and College of Engineering, the team of researchers were awarded a grant funding of roughly $3 million by the National Nuclear Security Administration. The team members include Kelly Nash, Miltos Alamaniotis, Amanda Fernandez, Harry Millwater, Elizabeth Sooby Wood. This team is partnered with leaders Frederic Poineau and Juan Ocampo, who are both leaders in student training and nuclear forensics science.
CONNECT, known as the cross-disciplinary collaboration, allows for students to explore topics related to nuclear materials, nuclear security, and other fields. Students who are studying physics, computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering will "work together on interdisciplinary research and network with experts in the nuclear security field." Over the time frame of the 3-year grant, "13 Ph.D. students and nearly 30 undergraduate students will be supported through the project."
