Key Contacts

The 2006 German-American Frontiers of Engineering symposium was held May 4-6, 2006, in Murray Hill, New Jersey. GAFOE aimed to bring together outstanding, early-career German and American engineers from industry, universities, and other research institutions to introduce their areas of engineering research and technical work, thereby facilitating an interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge and methodology that could eventually lead to collaborative networks of engineers from the two countries.

Co-Chairs:
Elsa Reichmanis, Director, Materials Research Department, Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technology
Theodor Doll, Professor of Microstructure Physics and Research Director, Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH, University of Mainz
