FORT COLLINS - Colorado State University electrical engineering professor Sid Suryanarayanan has been selected to attend the National Academy of Engineering symposium this September.

The symposium, to be held at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., will examine developments in additive manufacturing, engineering, sustainable buildings, neuroprosthetics and semantic processing.

To attend the symposium, participants must be nominated and chosen by a selection committee. Attendees are selected because they are "performing exceptional engineering research and technical work in industry, academia and government," according to a National Academy news release.

Suryanarayanan is an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at CSU. He conducts research on design, operation and economics of advanced electric power systems and has more than 50 publications in industry journals and conference proceedings.

The National Academy of Engineering, founded in 1964, is a private nonprofit institution dedicated to engineering leadership and the promotion of technological welfare of the nation.
