The Joint Institute for Advanced Materials (JIAM), founded in 2005, is a 140,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the research of materials science and/or advanced manufacturing at the University of Tennessee. JIAM is a joint facility shared by a multidisciplinary team of scientists from UT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and operates at the forefront of modern materials science. It represents one of the world’s premier centers for advanced materials research.
JIAM/UT is home to more than 80 faculty members, spanning two colleges, across 11 departments
Southeast region’s only research park affiliated with both a major research university and a national research laboratory
Features world-class, interdisciplinary scientific research in computational sciences, biomedical sciences, materials science and advanced manufacturing

The Heart Lung Vascular Institute’s (HLVI) Data Management and Research Department manages multiple national clinical registries, including The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) National Database; National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR)/American College of Cardiology; American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines (GWTG)-Heart Failure; and Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database.
UT Medical Center uses a cardiovascular information system to improve the care of HLVI patients that is quality and research driven to integrate the latest evidence-based practice into the institute’s service lines, which include cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, pulmonary and vascular surgery.
A quality management system in conjunction with the lean process (a methodology to identify and eliminate inefficiencies) continuously monitors patient care outcomes and drives quality improvements.
With evidence-based data and research, UT Medical Center helps design, implement and improve HLVI clinical pathways. The institute also monitors and studies overall outcomes of clinical pathways, including length of stay, mortality, complications and readmissions for heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, myocardial infarction, cardiac devices, coronary artery bypass grafting, vascular services and more.

Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc., provides innovative design solutions and integrated expertise in the primary practice areas of civil engineering, ecological sciences, environmental engineering and sciences, survey, waste management and water resources.
The firm is consistently ranked among the Top 500 Design Firms and Top 200 Environmental Firms by Engineering News-Record and has more than 20 offices across the United States, including Nashville and Sevierville in Tennessee.
Because of the continued relationship with UT, Chris Foster, assistant project manager in the survey department, has worked on two engineering senior design projects with UT students. Foster provided land survey support and mentorship. He also assisted in the computer-aided design (CAD) of the plan sets.
The first project involved the stream and bank stabilization and bridge design at the historic Alex Haley Farm in Clinton, Tennessee. The second project addressed the replacement of a bridge crossing on a local farmer’s property in Blount County in Tennessee.
CEC secured a valuable intern who was an undergraduate student at UT and is now pursuing a master’s degree in environmental engineering. He worked for CEC over summer break in the company’s Nashville office.
In addition, CEC Knoxville has worked on multiple projects with UT providing survey, ecological and civil engineering services.

Founded in 2013 as Smokie Robotics, AUBO Robotics manufactures lightweight collaborative robots for industrial and academic use.
The company was developed as a collaboration with three PhD professors from the United States and China in order to make a lightweight, intelligent robot. The robot was specially designed to combine state-of-the-art technology with user friendliness to make a collaborative robot: a Co-bot.
AUBO Robotics holds several core patents and has strategic cooperation with several public companies leveraging the best of all new technology.

Established in 1955, Volkswagen Group of America is a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, with headquarters in Herndon, Virginia. Volkswagen’s operations in the United States include research and development, parts and vehicle processing, parts distribution centers, sales, marketing and service offices, financial service centers, and its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Volkswagen’s first innovation hub in North America will be housed at the UT Research Park at Cherokee Farm. The collaboration involves research opportunities for doctoral students and space in the Innovation North building. Initial work will focus on developing lighter vehicle components made from composite materials and the electrification of vehicles.
Volkswagen has been a valued partner of the University of Tennessee since opening its Chattanooga Assembly plant in 2011. UT Chattanooga and Volkswagen developed an MBA program allowing Volkswagen employees to earn the degree by taking classes at the plant or on campus.
Volkswagen also is a member of the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI)—The Composites Institute. IACMI has supported UT researchers, Volkswagen engineers and their collaborators in the creation of a novel composite liftgate for the Volkswagen Atlas that reduces weight by 35 percent as well as reducing investment cost.
