A Successful TMP Meeting At GWU

This year’s TMP meeting was a great success! We had two days of excellent talks by our student participants, offering a broad survey of the nature and depth of work being done at the member universities in the area of technology, management, and policy.

Thanks to GWU and the Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering for hosting, as well as to all the faculty and students who so graciously gave of their time and hospitality to make it such a wonderful event.

A noted above, the student presentations this year were excellent, and the faculty debates around identifying honorees was quite spirited. Ultimately, two presenters were selected for recognition of the high quality of presentations. This year’s winners of best presentation(s) are:

  • Suparna Mukherjee (GWU): “Complex engineering and the platform economy” and
  • Magdalena Klemun (MIT): “Soft and hard factors affecting the cost evolution of low-carbon energy technologies”

All presentations titles and their associated pabels are available online.

Next year’s Consortium meeting will be held in Porto, Portugal, hosted by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, where they offer the Doctoral Program in Engineering and Public Policy. Dates have not been set, but will be announced here when finalized.

Again, thanks to our colleagues at the George Washington University, as well as to all this year’s participants!
