Graduate students Pedro Leal and Patrick Walgren recently attended the Community of Experts (COE) Conference in New Orleans, LA from February 24th-27th. They spent the week networking with industry representatives (including engineers from Boeing, Textron, and Lockheed Martin), volunteering with conference logistics, and participated in an ePoster competition.
Pedro presented work pertaining to the avian inspired morphing wing and Patrick discussed his latest progress in the field of bending cylinders. In fact, Patrick was awarded the runner-up prize in the graduate division for the competition, receiving the David M. Aber memorial scholarship!
