FOE Website

I specialize in materials characterization and incident investigation, particularly as they relate to oil and gas pipelines, process piping, integrated circuit fabrication, and chemical process safety.

FOE allowed me the opportunity to network and learn from diverse groups of American and European engineers. The technical sessions were thought-provoking and catalyzed lively interdisciplinary discussions. 

My research interests lie at the intersection of physical modeling with statistics and computation. I'm particularly motivated by engineering and geophysical applications where learning from data and quantifying uncertainty in predictions play a key role.

FOE was a unique opportunity to connect with accomplished researchers from the entire range of engineering disciplines, and to develop a broader understanding of what it takes to make our work have an impact on society. 

I lead a group that seeks to integrate wind turbine, plant engineering, and cost models to enable full-system analysis, and to apply a variety of advanced analysis methods to the study of wind plant system performance and cost.

Working at a national laboratory in an applied research area, I really enjoy interacting with so many experts with similar focus. However, a lot of interesting ideas and research questions come from being exposed to completely different state-of-the-art research. Interacting with people from all different fields of engineering at the FOE conference was inspiring and has helped shape how I think about my own research. 

I invent the future of flight at the intersection of aero and thermal technologies, additive manufacturing, and large-scale digital data streams.

Frontiers of Engineering highlights the importance of diversity of thought in driving innovation. At FOE, experts from disparate fields come together to learn, debate, and bring new perspectives to cutting-edge research fields. Bringing these diverse thoughts – and incredible people – together results in fantastic new insights to inspire future research directions. FOE is a model forum for all engineering disciplines.

My research focuses on sustainable design of biological treatment processes to recover energy, water, and nutrient resources from wastewater, and understanding the potential human health impacts of recycled wastewater resources.

FOE is a great way to meet and interact with other early-career engineers and scientists and gain exposure to cutting-edge research both in and outside of my field. It helped me think about my own research in a new light and form relationships with colleagues and future collaborators.

Our research focuses on synthetic cell biology that not only dissects but also generates and re-engineers information transfer in living cells. 

I really liked the international FOE symposium, which provided valuable opportunities to network with cool engineers doing some great science in another country.
