Professor John Zhang is one of 85 of the nation’s brightest young engineers to be selected to participate in the National Academy of Engineering’s (NAE) 17th annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering symposium, which will be held September 19–21 at Google headquarters in Mountain View, California.
The participants—engineers ranging in age from 30–45 who are performing exceptional engineering research and technical work in industry, academia, and government—were nominated by fellow engineers or organizations and selected among approximately 315 applicants.
"The young engineering innovators of today are solving the grand challenges that face us in the coming century," said NAE President Charles M. Vest. "We are proud that our Frontiers of Engineering program brings this diverse group of people together and gives them an opportunity to share and showcase their work."
The symposium will examine additive manufacturing, engineering sustainable buildings, neuroprosthetics, and semantic processing.
A meeting program and more information about Frontiers of Engineering is available at www.naefrontiers.org.
