This conference, STAR Tech (Space Travel: Adaptive Research and Technologies from biological and chemical engineering), is focused on bringing in non-traditional technologies from biological and chemical engineering including materials science and engineering that may apply to space travel technology and capability needs, in an effort to accelerate the development of commercial and non-commercial space exploration and increase the intersection between terrestrial and space applications.
This conference will also have a focus on sustaining life in harsh environments and the development of longevity for necessary materials, food, clean water, medicines, and much more. Professionals from industry, government and academia including students are highly encouraged to attend this conference. This is a great opportunity to present your work that may benefit the government and industry officials involved in space related technologies.
