An ESWP Webinar: Pitt Space Engineering and the Final Frontier

Join ESWP for an upcoming webinar highlighting the University of Pittsburgh’s growing leadership in space engineering, space computing, and space-related research.

Presenter: Alan D. George, Ph.D., FIEEE
Mickle Chair Professor, Department Chair, and NSF SHREC Center Director
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Pittsburgh

Since launching at Pitt in 2017, the NSF Center for Space, High-performance, and Resilient Computing (SHREC) has grown into one of the nation’s leading academic centers for research in space computing, sensing, and other critical areas of space engineering. SHREC now includes approximately 30 university, industry, government, and institute partners working together to advance research and workforce development for the U.S. space community.

This webinar will also highlight Pitt Space, a university-wide initiative launched in 2024 that includes more than 100 faculty members and students with the goal of establishing Pitt as a recognized space university. The program will also touch on the 2026 launch of the Trivedi Institute for Space and Global Biomedicine, which includes a world-class leadership team and a NASA astronaut.

Dr. George is a Fellow of IEEE and founder of the NSF SHREC Center. He has served as Department Chair and Endowed Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Pitt since 2017, following faculty roles at the University of Florida, Florida State University, and Florida A&M University.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how Pitt is helping shape the future of space research, engineering, and education.
