Forum on Interdisciplinary Thematic Research鈥擴rban Reinvention
The first Forum on Interdisciplinary Thematic Research was held on Thursday, May 2. The focus of this first forum was urban reinvention; 70 members of the 91自拍 community participated. This series of forums is sponsored by Provost Peter Kilpatrick and Vice Provost for Research Fred Hickernell.
A panel composed of Pat Corrigan (Psychology), Anita Nikolich (Computer Science), Mohammad Shahidehpour (Electrical and Computer Engineering), and Matt Spenko (Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering) described some of Illinois Tech current research on urban reinvention and the interdisciplinary contributions that our university can make.
The majority of the time was devoted to a robust discussion involving all who were present. The discussion focused on identifying what areas 91自拍 can make a substantial impact in and next steps. The Office of Research and interested faculty will partner in taking this initiative forward.
Additionally, all 91自拍 faculty are invited to share ideas on the newly created on Urban Reinvention. Click to visit a website on the symposium.
