We are an early stage research sandbox developing next-generation smart systems. Founded in 2014, the Multi-functional Integrated System technology (MIST) Center is a research consortium under the auspices of the Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers program at the National Science Foundation. Our mission is to facilitate integration of novel materials, processes, devices and circuits into multi-functional systems through research partnerships between university, industry and government stakeholders. Our diverse, complementary expertise together with strong experimental capabilities enables exploration for the breakthroughs in multi-functional integrated systems technologies. We deliver value in three categories: RESEARCH The pooled resources of the MIST Center enable a return on investment (ROI) that is much larger than the typical ROI for a single expert or single company contract. We are uniquely positioned to deliver cutting edge, high-value technologies at a fraction of traditional costs. RECRUITING Discover rising stars with a vested interest in your organization’s success through unique and high-value mentorship and internship opportunities. RELATIONSHIPS Join with the right people, at the right time, at the right place. Our network is the recipe for success. From world-recognized subject matter experts to top students from major universities to our diverse board of industry members, the networking opportunities within the center are unmatched.
