We're kicking off the showcase with a poster session to highlight recently funded Strategic Research Initiatives. Learn about the research happening on campus in our Strategic Research Themes, meet new faculty and discuss opportunities to collaborate.

April 24 will feature a day of national security panels, with experts from federal agencies invited to discuss research in power grid and infrastructure security, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, combustion and energetics, and food safety and security.
