One of the Eisenhower recipients, Mr. Carlos Solis, presented his graduate research work in a poster session. Dr. Soheil Nazarian, Dr. Kelvin Cheu, Mr. Imad Abdallah, and Mr. Manuel Celaya also presented papers in this year conference.
During this visit, CTIS members reunited with several of CTIS Alumni who were also attending the annual meeting. As has become tradition, we had dinner together and this year, we selected Paradiso Restaurant. All these good times at Washington D.C. made all attendees hope to get together next year’s meeting.
