We were honored to host Chris Duffey as our first Explorer in Residence in October 2023. His insights ignited thought-provoking conversations among UT students and faculty. As UT's Year of AI continues to thrive in 2024, we are excited to expand the Explorer in Residence program and foster additional thought leadership initiatives. Together, we will enrich classroom experiences, develop strategic partnerships, and drive innovation across campus and the Austin community.
Chris Duffey is one of the world’s leading voices for designing digital experiences with emerging technology. For over 25 years, Chris has worked with some of the biggest companies in the world. Chris is a leading strategic futurist on how technology and creativity creates growth for brans, organizations and society. Chris Duffey spearheads Adobe’s Creative Cloud strategic development partnerships.
