Prof. Shukla chosen to participate in the NAE 26th annual USF symposium!
Congratulations to Professor Anita Shukla who has been chosen as one of 85 of the nation’s brightest early-career engineers and will take part in the National Academy of Engineering’s (NAE) 26th annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering (USFOE) symposium! The Frontiers of Engineering symposium brings together top-notch engineers, early in their careers, to learn about cutting-edge developments in fields other than their own, thereby facilitating collaborative work and the transfer of new approaches and techniques across fields. Highlighted here in the Brown News!
