to showcase their expertise, and I encourage you all to participate in and attend these events on behalf of our community.
In addition to all of these exciting events, our community has also continued to accomplish impressive feats of research and scholarship, like Professor Ahmed Louri and his students receiving two new patents for scalable, efficient artificial intelligence accelerator designs, and GW Engineering alumnus Donald J. Evans publishing a piece on quantum computing infrastructure in Homeland Security Today.
I hope you’ll enjoy reading about these and other recent community accomplishments. As always, you can read more about our student, faculty, alumni, department, and university news below, and stay up-to-date on our GW Engineering News & Events page.
