Xiao-Dong Zhou invited to NAE's 2010 Indo-American Frontiers of Engineering Symposium
Xiao-Dong Zhou was invited by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) to attend the 2010 Indo-American Frontiers of Engineering Symposium (IAFOE) to be held in March 2010 in Agra, India. The Indo-U.S. FOE brings together approximately 35 outstanding American and Indian engineers ages 30-45 from industry, universities, and other research institutions to discuss leading-edge research and technical work across a range of engineering fields. Participation is by invitation only.
Zhou is leading research on materials for energy conversion, including cathode materials for solid oxide fuel cells and thermoelectric oxides. He has been principal investigator or co-principal investigator of several materials development programs related to energy science and technology, and thermoelectrics.
The Indo-U.S. FOE is a bilateral program held once every two years. It will facilitate an interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge and methodology that eventually could lead to collaborative networks of engineers from the two countries. (announced 11/1/2009)
