I started @DellTech from a dorm room @UTAustin, and it shaped everything that followed. Building Dell showed me what’s possible when a company grows alongside a top-tier research university in a city that fuels new ideas. For more than 25 years, Susan and I have partnered with UT on nearly 200 projects to expand educational opportunity, advance research, reinvent medical education, and strengthen life in Austin. Today, we’re making a new commitment to help build what comes next in health and life sciences — bringing our total giving to UT to more than $1 billion. We’re excited about what this will make possible for people in Austin, across Texas, and far beyond for generations to come. 🤘 onedell.com/utaustin/

A $1 Billion Commitment to Build What’s Next in Health and Life Sciences

Launching UT Austin's new advanced research campus, an AI-native medical center, expanded scholarships, and greater computing power.

Five researchers at UT Austin are bridging engineering and public policy to study how carbon capture could work as a full system. The team, spanning @CockrellSchool and @TheLBJSchool, is creating a research road map to find better carbon capture processes. The collaboration was supported by an Incubator planning grant from UT’s Office of the Vice President for Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors. 📖 Read the story: bit.ly/4lhPpyQ
Graphic titled “Mapping the Path to Viable Carbon Capture” with the subhead “A multidisciplinary UT Austin research team.” Five circular headshots outlined in burnt orange appear in a three-over-two layout. The researchers listed are Hugh Daigle, Professor, Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering, Cockrell School of Engineering; Arvind Ravikumar, Assistant Professor, Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering, Cockrell School of Engineering; Sergio Castellanos, Assistant Professor, Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, Cockrell School of Engineering; Benjamin Leibowicz, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Cockrell School of Engineering; and Andrew Robert Waxman, Associate Professor, LBJ School of Public Affairs.
