Program Series: Technology and Engineering

The Technology, Engineering and Innovation (TEI) Series offers events that showcase the latest innovations and technology based research at both start-ups and large scale operations, by scientists and engineers.

Previous TEI events have covered high speed rail, nanotechnology, robots, tech incubators, machine learning, and medical imaging.

Distinguished speakers have included Adam Khan, CEO and founder of Akhan Semiconductors; Miles Wernick, Ph.D., Motorola Endowed Chair Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Director of the Medical Imaging Research Center, and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT); and Amanda K. Petford-Long, Ph.D., Director for the Nanoscience and Technology Division and Argonne’s Center for Nanoscale Materials.

High Speed Rail: The Midwest Moving Forward

Over the past half century, high-speed rail (HSR) has emerged as an important component of the intercity passenger transport system, providing both an alternative and a compliment to highway and air transport.  The US was once at the forefront of efforts to develop HSR technology, but over the past three decades Asian and European countries have moved ahead and developed extensive and increasingly sophisticated and integrated systems, with maximum speeds on some dedicated HSR lines exceeding 220 mph.
