Seventh 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 session topics presented at the symposium were:

  • Session I: Water Management
  • Session II: Artificial Intelligence
  • Session III: Infectious Disease
  • Session IV: Sensing Technologies
  • Session V: Community Resilience

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 his or her research during poster sessions.
