The 33rd Northeast Regional Conference (NRC) 2024 was jointly organized by the New Jersey, New York Metropolitan, and Philadelphia Chapters of Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA). This year NRC was sponsored by nonprofit organizations, KSEA and the Korea-U.S. Science Cooperation Center (KUSCO), and it was held in the collaboration with local societies and KSEA- affiliated professional societies (APSs), including KASBP, KITEE, KWiSE, NYKB, and PKSA.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals and communities worldwide have demonstrated remarkable resilience and innovation. As we embark on a journey to explore innovative solutions, we aim to harmonize scientific advancement, technological prowess, and sustainable practices in overcoming the challenges of tomorrow. Therefore, the NRC 2024, held at Montclair State University in New Jersey, is centered around the theme of “Toward a Resilient Future: Uniting Science, Technology, and Sustainability.” The conference aims to provide an opportunity for individuals to learn from each other and explore new strategies for building partnerships, and redesigning structures in a more resilient and sustainable manner. We are confident that the insights and ideas shared at this conference will inspire us to create a brighter future for our communities and societies, contributing to advancing research and development in both the U.S. and Korea. In addition, the NRC 2024 will allow young generations (YG) and professionals (YP) in science and engineering to establish professional networks and explore career opportunities.
On behalf of the NRC organizing committee, Yeon Bai, Ph.D. (Conference Chair) and Jinwook Lee, Ph.D. (Conference Co-Chair) would like to express sincere gratitude to all the distinguished guests and KSEA members from New Jersey, New York Metropolitan, and Philadelphia for participating in NRC 2024.
