Gupta receives NSF grant to organize young professionals forum, gives invited talk

Surojit Gupta, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, has received a National Science Foundation grant to organize a Young Professionals Forum in Toronto this summer at the 9th International Conference on High Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites and Global Forum on Advanced Materials and Technologies for Sustainable Development 2016.

The symposium will focus on recent societal challenges in the new millennium, including—but not limited to—energy, health, and environmental aspects. In addition, novel material design paradigms are needed to fabricate materials with multifunctional applications that can bring solutions to some of today’s biggest problems. This symposium aims to bring together young researchers and scientists from around the globe to discuss new approaches and challenges in materials synthesis and to provide a platform for intensive exchange of ideas, knowledge, and networking. The theme of the symposium is next-generation materials for multi-functional applications and sustainable development, and concurrent societal challenges in the new millennium.

Gupta is also co-organizing a symposium on “novel, green, and strategic processing and manufacturing technologies.

He will give an invited talk on the design and characterization of Novel MRM (MAZ Reinforced Metals) at conference.
