The CEDAR group has been (is) supported by many past (present) sponsors. The funding from these sponsors is used primarily to support graduate students through stipends and tuition waivers. We thank these sponsors for their support and we look forward to new partnerships with others. If you are interested in sponsoring a research or a design project, please contact the faculty directly.
