Between Two Bricks - A Conversation With Dr. Lindsay Millard

[add to calendar (ical)]

 

Do you think we can trust autonomy to operate spacecraft, instead of humans? Are you concerned about space technology and policy solutions given our increasing reliance on satellites? Do you wonder how an engineer can influence change within the government? Join us for an exciting conversation with Dr. Lindsay Millard, a Purdue AAE alumna and the Principal Director, Space Technology, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, who will answer questions about her journey from studying aerospace tech to now driving space technology integration at the U.S. Department of Defense.
