Symposium
Highlights UCLA, National Research
Last October,
the School hosted a symposium highlighting the roles the faculty
and students play in the growing fields of nanotechnology, bioengineering
and information technology.
National leaders shared their perspectives on the future of scientific
research. Dr. Raymond Orbach, director of the Office of Science,
Department of Energy, spoke on the impact high-end computation will
likely have on scientific discovery in the coming years. Dr. Carol
Lucas, a biomedical engineering program director at the NSF, presented
future opportunities for research in bioengineering, and Dr. Tim
Kraybach, manager of JPL's Life Detection Science and Technology
Program, shared NASA's perspective on the convergence of nano-,
bio-, and infotechnologies.
Additionally, UCLA professors Deborah Estrin, Chih-Ming Ho, Leonard
Kleinrock, Carlo Montemagno, and John Villasenor presented overviews
of their research in embedded systems, biotechnology, information
technology, and nanotechnology that brought home the School's
deep involvement in the nation's scientific endeavors.
