Ahmed to Participate in Grainger Foundation Frontiers of Engineering 2023 Symposium

Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Qadeer Ahmed was selected as one of 81 early-career engineers chosen by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) to participate in The Grainger Foundation Frontiers of Engineering 2023 Symposium. Engineers from industry, academia and government were selected based on their exceptional research and technical work and were nominated by fellow engineers or organizations.

“It’s an honor to be part of a select group of highly accomplished early-career engineers. I hope to broaden my horizon and network with leading early-career engineers,” said Ahmed.

At the Symposium, Ahmed will be presenting on his research which focuses on controls, optimization and diagnostics of automotive systems with a focus on their efficiency, safety and security.

“The Grainger Foundation Frontiers of Engineering symposium helps foster a collaborative spirit in early-career engineers by bringing together a diverse group from different technical areas and work sectors to spark innovation, broaden perspectives on new approaches to engineering problems, and develop long-term relationships that are critical in advancing engineering efforts that are critical to our nation’s future,” said NAE President John L. Anderson.
