Sixth Arab-American Frontiers Symposium
The Arab-American Frontiers program is participant driven: an organizing committee of 12 members makes the final selection of session topics, suggests speakers, and chairs the individual sessions during the symposium. The topics presented at the symposium were:
- Session I: Big Data
- Session II: Water Systems
- Session III: The Microbiome
- Session IV: Air Quality
- Session V: Next Generation Buildings and Infrastructure
One of the main objectives of Frontiers symposia is to foster pluridisciplinary dialogue and collaborations. Therefore, while speakers in each session are selected as experts in the topics above, each general participant also presents their research during poster sessions.
