About Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering and Sciences
Please join us for the Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering and Sciences Multi-University Webinar Series as pre-tenure faculty from nine different universities share their research on a range of topics. The virtual lectures will take place online, every Friday at 3:30 pm, with two consecutive presenters followed by an opportunity for colleagues and collaborators to mingle virtually. Speakers will be grouped thematically, from robotics to design to energy systems. See the full schedule.
Once a month those talks will be punctuated by a presentation by a distinguished speaker and mentor who will address the state of their field.
This seminar is designed to highlight new and exciting research, build connections across participating institutions, and connect early-career faculty with potential collaborators across the country.
The intended audience for this seminar series includes graduate students, postdocs, and faculty at all stages of their careers who are interested in hearing from some of the emerging stars in their fields. Participating schools include:
- Georgia Tech
- Penn State
- Purdue University
- Texas A&M University
- University of California-Los Angeles
- University of Maryland
- University of Michigan
- University of Minnesota
- University of Wisconsin-Madison
