2022 Workshop on Engineered Materials and Manufacturing for Sustainable Built Environment

About the Workshop 

The purpose of this workshop is to review the advanced materials and manufacturing and explore how cutting-edge Engineered Living Systems to advance carbon-negative manufacturing and engineering workforce development for the needs of a responsive, resilient, and sustainable built environment.

The workshop will focus on the following topics through presentations and small-group discussions:

1. Advanced Materials: advances in materials science and synthetic biology, biomineralized materials, extreme environment ceramics, engineered living materials, materials for sustainable built environment.
2. Manufacturing and Characterization: biomineralization and 3D printing from the nano to the macro scale, in-situ and operando characterization.
3. Outreach: including training, workshops, and expanding access for under-represented groups and researchers, STEM education.
