CEDE Kickoff Meeting / Inaugural Directed Energy Day
We are excited to officially launch the Penn State Center of Excellence in Directed Energy (CEDE)! We look forward to hosting distinguished leaders in the field from both government and industry at our inaugural kickoff meeting. We envision the meeting as being the ideal forum to bring together program managers, researchers, and engineers from both government, industry, and Penn State to discuss DE research and workforce development needs while fostering new relationships and potential collaborations. Invited speakers from DoD will present on current challenges and future directions in DE while Penn State faculty & researchers will present on state-of-the-art DE research and supporting related technologies at Penn State. Please see below for registration, parking, and hotel information. We hope to see you in State College, this April!
