College of Computing associate professor David A. Bader is one of 83 of the nation's brightest young engineers selected to take part in the National Academy of Engineering's 13th annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering symposium.
The event, scheduled for Sept. 24-26 at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Wash., will bring together engineers ages 30 to 45 who are performing exceptional engineering research and technical work in a variety of disciplines. The participants — from industry, academia and government — were nominated by fellow engineers or organizations and chosen from more than 260 nominations.
Bader is a pioneer in the use of high-performance computing for problems in bioinformatics and computational genomics. "High-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," he said.
The symposium will examine trustworthy computer systems, safe water technologies, modeling and simulating human behavior, biotechnology for fuels and chemicals and the control of protein conformations.
