ADVANCED SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY SYMPOSIUM

Start Date: Jul 24, 2019

End Date: Jul 24, 2019

1:00pm – 5:00pm

The Air Force Research Laboratory’s Advanced Science & Technology Symposium has been rescheduled for July 24, 1-5 p.m., at the Top of the Market Banquet Center in Dayton.

This event was originally scheduled to happen May 29, but was postponed after several tornadoes struck the local area on Memorial Day.

At the symposium, AFRL’s junior scientists and engineers will showcase their state-of-the-art research and seek mentors from industry, academia and government.

The event is free, and open to academia and industry. Featured technology fields include Sensing, Materials and Manufacturing, Aerospace Systems, Medical, and Health and Human Performance.

This symposium is hosted by the AFRL Junior Force Council in collaboration with the Wright Brothers Institute.

The event begins with keynote speaker, retired Brig. Gen. David Stringer, Director of the NASA Plum Brook Station. This will be followed by other guest speakers, including David Hart, vice president of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Segue Technologies in Dayton. The event wraps up with a one-hour poster session where AFRL junior force will showcase their work and have meet and greets with other attendees who are interested in being mentors.

“This symposium will also socialize the idea of an Industry Mentorship Program and will provide information about the program to interested attendees, and provide attendees with the ability to network and socialize while talking about their work and their mentoring needs,” said Brittany Fouts, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and AFRL JFC officer-at-large and Medical Integration Manager at the 711th Human Performance Wing.

AFRL’s Junior Force Council provides professional development opportunities for its active duty and civilian personnel with less than a decade’s experience. This symposium is the latest effort by JFC to provide collaboration, networking and mentorship opportunities for its members and partners.
