CU Boulder is a key partner in the center with babyÖ±²¥app from multiple departments in the College of Engineering and Applied Science serving in leadership roles. Qin (Christine) Lv is CU Boulder’s campus director, a co-principal investigator of the center and will lead the data research thrust within it. While Dragan Maksimovic is the co-director of ASPIRE’s engineering workforce development initiative. Additionally, center director Regan Zane workedÌýas a professor of electrical, computer and energyÌýengineering at CU Boulder before starting at Utah State University.
