MIT's Markus Buehler co-chaired the 2026 NAE EU-US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium in Chicago, a highly selective program for early-career engineering leaders. Four themes: generative AI for physics and matter (ML for molecular properties, differentiable physics, LLM-assisted quantum materials discovery); soft robotics and bio-integrated materials (neuroprosthetics, organic electronics in living tissue); neuromorphic computing using magnetic, ionic, and organic materials; and water security via nanofluidics and circular chemical manufacturing. NAE president Tsu-Jae Liu and UChicago president Paul Alivisatos spoke at the event.
