The two and a half-day event will bring together engineers ages 30 to 45 who are performing exceptional engineering research and technical work in a variety of disciplines. The participants \u2014 from industry, academia, and government \u2014 were nominated by fellow engineers or organizations. Participants were chosen from more than 260 nominations.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBader is a pioneer in the use of high-performance computing for problems in bioinformatics and computational genomics. \u0022High-performance computing is essential for solving 21st century problems such as the design of safe water technologies, developing sustainable biofuels, and engineering proteins, which will be key themes at this symposium,\u201d\u00a0 he said.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe symposium will be held September 24-26 at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Wash., and will examine trustworthy computer systems, safe water technologies, modeling and simulating human behavior, biotechnology for fuels and chemicals, and the control of protein conformations. Dr. Henrique Malvar, Microsoft Distinguished Engineer and managing director, Microsoft Research, will be a featured speaker. His research at Microsoft has focused on audio and video signal enhancement and compression, multirate signal processing, and signal decompositions. Prior to joining Microsoft Research, Malvar headed research and advanced technology at PictureTel and the Digital Signal Processing Research Group at Universidade de Bras\u00edlia.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022It is exciting to witness the energy when outstanding engineers from many different fields come together in this unique venue,\u0022 said NAE President William A. Wulf. \u0022Frontiers of Engineering is a proven mechanism for traversing engineering disciplines. By exposing bright young minds to developments in areas other than their own \u2014 and giving them lots of time to interact \u2014 Frontiers enables advances in approaches and thinking that would not have occurred otherwise.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ESponsors for the 2007 U.S. Frontiers of Engineering are the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the U.S. Department of Defense (DDR\u0026amp;E-Research), DARPA, the National Science Foundation, Microsoft Corp., Cummins Inc., and numerous individual donors.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe National Academy of Engineering is an independent, nonprofit institution that serves as an adviser to government and the public on issues in engineering and technology. Its members consist of the nation\u0027s premier engineers, who are elected by their peers for their distinguished achievements. Established in 1964, NAE operates under the congressional charter granted to the National Academy of Sciences in 1863.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EA meeting program and more information about Frontiers of Engineering is available at the \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.nae.edu\/frontiers\u0022\u003Esymposium website\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003EAbout the College of Computing at Georgia Tech\u003C\/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe College of Computing at Georgia Tech is a national leader in the research and creation of real-world computing breakthroughs that drive social and scientific progress. With its graduate program ranked 11th nationally by U.S. News and World Report, the College\u2019s unconventional approach to education is pioneering the new era of computing by expanding the horizons of traditional computer science students through interdisciplinary collaboration and a focus on human centered solutions.
