Faculty Chair Summer
Conferences
About 1,000 people attended the
U.S. National Congress of
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at the CU-Boulder Engineering
Center June 25 to 30. The event, which was co-chaired by
Thomas Geers of ME and
Stein Sture of CEAE,
focused on mechanics in emerging technologies including biomechanics,
nanomechanics, and mechanics research for national defense and energy
independence. The congress is held on four-year intervals
and was last hosted by Virginia Tech.
Coming up
July 31-Aug. 4 will be the IEEE International Geoscience & Remote Sensing
Symposium, co-chaired by Albin Gasiewski of ECE. The event, which is
expected to draw up to 2,000 participants, will be held at the Colorado
Convention Center in Denver. The meeting’s theme is “Remote Sensing—A
Natural Global Partnership,” reflecting the increasing interconnected
nature of understanding and managing the global environment. The annual
conference has not been held in the continental U.S. since 1998.
