Description: Google Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) is a group of lean and agile “doer/dreamers who dare to try even when it means they might fail” as explained by Regina Dugan, former Director of DARPA, who leads ATAP. Focused on mobile disruptive technology but pushing the limits for broader impact, ATAP is interested in collaborating with University of Illinois – one of the first universities to sign the Multi-University Research Agreement with ATAP.
