Dr. Michael Sangid, Assistant Professor in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, has been selected to present at the National Academy of Engineering 2014 Frontiers of Engineering Symposium to be held November 10-12, 2014 in Seattle, Washington.

Dr. Sangid is one of only 60 outstanding engineers under the age of 45 who were selected for an intensive 2-1/2 day symposium to discuss cutting-edge developments in four areas: Energy Storage Across Scales, Protein Design for Therapeutic Applications, Smart Homes, and Atoms to Airplanes: Designer/Engineered Aerospace Materials.

The NAE Frontiers of Engineering Symposium facilitates international and cross-disciplinary research collaboration, promotes the transfer of new techniques and approaches across disparate engineering fields, and encourages the creation of a transatlantic network of world-class engineers.

This symposium is hosted in partnership with the European Council of Academies of Applied Sciences, Technologies, and Engineering, and the National Academy of Technologies of France.
