The Fall 2024 MAST Center IAB Meeting was hosted by the University of Colorado, Boulder on October 6-8, 2024.

Our hybrid meeting brought together 46 in-person participants and 13 virtual attendees. Kicking off with a local hike for IAB and MAST researchers, the event featured engaging project presentations, Q&A sessions, and a vibrant student poster reception wherein the IAB recognized 4 student researchers as poster presentation winners.

The IAB closed sessions facilitated discussion on the future of the Center and current project feedback, as well as the selection of 12 promising proposals for 2025 funding. Project teams and their industry mentors collaborated on project progress during individual mentor meetings. We are actively seeking to grow the Center and look forward to our Spring Meeting at Penn State April 13-15, 2025. Don't miss this opportunity to connect, collaborate, and contribute to groundbreaking research!
