Dates: June 11 – 13, 2024

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) uses the Annual Technical Review to review the progress of the MSEE URA. This meeting also provides a forum for the government and corporate affiliates program (GCAP) and science advisory board (SAB) to view the MSEE research activities. Each MSEE principal investigator (PI) will present their technical progress and accomplishments followed by a short question/answer period. This meeting is open to DTRA, MSEE PIs and their graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and GCAP and SAB members.

MSEE PIs (or a designated representative) are required to prepare and present a poster on each of their research tasks. Poster sessions will occur during the afternoon of days 1 and 2 of the Annual Technical Review.
