The UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering 28th Annual Research Expo was held Thursday, February 19, 2009. More than 240 students presented their research results in our poster session and abstracts of each poster may be viewed online.

In addition to technical breakouts led by Jacobs School faculty, the event featured a keynote address by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) Firouz Naderi.

Many thanks to our corporate sponsors, SAIC, ViaSat, Northrup Grumman, and BD, as well as our Corporate Affiliates Program for making this event possible.
