Symposium Highlights Groundbreaking Academic Research

The ABS University Partnership Symposium, held in Houston in August 2015, brought together academia and industry in a forum at which top US universities presented the results of ABS-funded research initiatives. Open discussion during this event allowed both academic and industry participants to provide input that will be used to refine ABS research efforts. The research highlighted at the Symposium is among the many projects that will function as building blocks for the Class of the Future, which will be more condition-based, more risk-based and more continuous.

“ABS is investing in research that will drive game-changing innovation and technology,” says ABS Chairman, President and CEO Christopher J Wiernicki. “Our global innovation ecosystem includes ABS engineers and scientists at six technology centers around the world, partnerships with prestigious academic institutions, scholarship programs, and contributions to academic infrastructure and chair endowments.”

ABS Chief Technology Officer Howard Fireman is enthusiastic about the potential for ABS-funded research. “The programs highlighted at this forum emphasize some of the most critical technologies for Class of the Future, including sensors and autonomous inspection, materials innovation and nanotechnology and the application of analytical tools like computational fluid dynamics,” Fireman says. “ABS bridges the gap between research and application – partnering with academia and industry to develop and advance sustainable industry solutions that foster new ways of thinking and working that support our mission.”

Through events like the recent symposium, ABS regularly convenes industry and academia to discuss key areas that will benefit industry and spur innovation.
