Technology, Innovation and Engineering (TI&E) Committee
The Technology, Innovation and Engineering Committee is a standing committee of the NASA Advisory Council (NAC) supporting the advisory needs of the NASA administrator, the Office of the Chief Technologist, and NASA Mission Directorates. The scope of the Committee includes all NASA programs that could benefit from technology research and innovation.
NAC Technology, Innovation, and Engineering Committee members:
Dr. Heshmat Aglan, Tuskegee University
Dr. Mike Gazarik, University of Colorado
Mr. Michael Johns, Kratos SRE (Chair)
Dr. Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio, Yale University
Mr. Andrew Rush, Copernicus Space Corporation
Dr. Mitchell Walker, Georgia Institute of Technology
The next hybrid meeting of the NAC Technology, Innovation, and Engineering Committee is scheduled for September 5, 2024 at NASA’s Glenn Research Center. The draft agenda is available here.
