BiSSL group director Dr. Astrid Layton was selected to attend the 2023 EU-US Frontiers of Engineering (EU-US FOE) Symposium hosted by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and Nokia Bell Labs. The National Academy of Engineering holds an annual US Frontiers of Engineering symposium that brings together 60 highly accomplished early-career engineers from EU and US universities, companies, and government to discuss leading-edge research and technical work across a range of engineering fields. Convening engineers from disparate fields and challenging them to think about developments and problems at the frontiers of areas different from their own can lead to a variety of desirable results. These include collaborative work, the transfer of new techniques and approaches across fields, and the establishment of contacts among the next generation of leaders in engineering. The objectives for the bilateral meetings also have the added element of facilitating international cooperation and understanding. The symposium – which covers the topics of The Quantum Era Challenge, Future Challenges in Additive Manufacturing, Clean Hydrogen, and The Computational Era of Life Sciences – will take place from October 15-18 at the National Academies’ Beckman Center in Murray Hill, New Jersey.
