Professor John Rogers - 40th Anniversary Keynote Speaker
|
|
Northwestern University's Master of Engineering Management (MEM) Program is celebrating its 40th Anniversary on Saturday, June 30,
2018
with a networking dinner and keynote speaker to recognize the students, alumni, and companies who value the importance of education at the intersection of engineering and business.
To deliver the keynote address MEM has invited Professor John Rogers to discuss his research on the emerging field:
"
Soft Electronics for the Human Body - Some Perspectives on the Science and the Commercial Opportunities
"
.
Similar to the idea that an MEM degree integrates business, engineering, and technology - Professor Rogers has developed new commercial innovations for wearable technologies. He has collaborated with a broad collection of partners including Gatorade, the Seattle Mariners, the U.S. Air Force and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab to bring his
wearable microfluidic sweat analytics system into widespread distribution.
We look forward to you being able to join us in the celebration!
Saturday, June 30
