UA Newswire Has More on ARA Fellow Alan Mantooth
In case you missed it, last week the Arkansas Research Alliance announced its inaugural class of ARA Fellows.
Here's coverage from Arkansas Business. And the UA Newswire has more on Mantooth's selection here.
One of the inaugural ARA Fellows is Alan Mantooth of the University of Arkansas. A former Razorback football player under Lou Holtz, Mantooth is Distinguished Professor of electrical engineering and holder of the Twenty-First Century Endowed Chair in Mixed-Signal IC Design and CAD.
Among Mantooth's numerous professional accomplishments is the development of an electronic charger designed for Toyota's plug-in electric vehicles, working with IA client firm APEI of Fayetteville.
Here's more from the UA Newswire:
Electronics designed by Mantooth and his team have flown on the International Space Station, surviving extreme temperatures and radiation. Their latest achievements can survive extremely high temperatures, such as those found in deep well drilling or vehicular engine compartments.
Recently, Mantooth’s team was acknowledged for the second time in the last five years with an R&D 100 Award, for an electronic charger they designed for Toyota’s plug-in electric vehicles. Financial resources for his research have included awards from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Office of Naval Research, Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and more than 50 companies.
Mantooth has also dedicated a part of his career to the transfer of research results into daily use by founding or nurturing three startup companies in Arkansas.
