  1. Research, Innovation and Commercialization At Texas State Dr. Thomas H. Myers Interim Chair. Department of Physics Associate Dean, College of Science and Engineering Director, Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization Program Faculty Liaison for Funded Research and Commercialization, Office of the AVPR

  2. Regional Innovation EcosystemInnovation and Commercialization Texas State University - San Marcos Nanomaterials – Research, Development & Commercialization Texas State University MSEC PhD Program Interdisciplinary Research Efforts Incorporating Commercialization and Entrepreneurship Unique Research Facilities as Innovation Attractors Industry-University Commercialization Agreements The Path Less Taken

  3. The PhD path less taken: Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization (MSEC) PhD Program Our program will train scientists and engineers to perform interdisciplinary research on scale-dependent materials and equip them to emerge as effective entrepreneurial leaders in the advancement of 21st century global discovery and innovation • Interdisciplinary Ph. D Program • Education with commercial relevance • Interdisciplinary Research Efforts • Advanced Functional Materials • Commercialization and Entrepreneurship • Tomorrow’s leaders in industry

  4. “The goal is to create an environment that helps attract, nurture and retain talent, and to encourage innovation across a wide range of other enterprises as well. Extending this strategy, more incubation spaces may be inserted directly into campuses and university buildings.” Future Knowledge Ecosystems, Institute for the Future Report Number SR-1236 http://scienceprogress.org/2009/08/science-parks/

  5. Innovation and Commercialization Texas State University San Marcos –Research Facilities as Innovation Attractors The Research Commercialization Path Less Taken – No Walls to Commercialization Embedded Entrepreneurs

  6. MBE Growth and Characterization complex at Texas State University First Solar Uriel Solar Army NREL US Ferroics AFOSR NSF TSMC SEMATECH Flex Solar Cell II-VI Chamber Oxide I Chamber Oxide II Chamber As Chamber GaSb Chamber Amethyst Research MicroPower Global H2 SPM XPS Leadsalt Chamber Oxide III Chamber All 7 growth chambers, an atomic hydrogen cleaning station, and XPS and SPM chambers Support Support

  7. Facilities as Innovation Attractors – Advanced Materials Synthesis/Fabrication and Advanced Materials Characterization capabilities are available to industry through various mechanisms – grant/contract, partnerships, testing agreements

  8. Innovation and CommercializationTexas State University The Package: • Access to Innovation Attractors – Faculty, facilities, students (Future workforce) • Potential to be embedded in the Innovation Endeavor as partners • Coaching from experienced investors, entrepreneurs, inventors and business leaders • Access to area resources to grow ventures • Guidance in starting, growing, and funding, and learn every aspect of running a scalable company.
