Midwest Regional Conference

Dear MRC 2024 participants:

On behalf of the organizing committees and volunteers, it is with utmost delight that we extend a warm welcome to each one of you to the 5th Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA) Midwest Regional Conference (MRC) on Science, Technology, & Engineering. With a strong emphasis on a passion for Science and Engineering, this conference aims to bring together professionals from the Midwest and beyond, fostering a platform for the exchange of research work, achievements, and recent technology trends.

We are privileged to have renowned researchers and engineers in attendance, representing diverse research areas. As the majority of participants hail from the Midwest, including Chicagoland, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa City, Ohio, Wisconsin, and UIUC, there will be ample opportunities to forge new collaborations and expand networks throughout the conference. Moreover, we have curated a career development session for those interested in pursuing industry or academia after graduation and a dedicated session for undergraduate students conducted by YG national board members.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated organizing committees, selfless volunteers, and generous sponsors, without whom this conference would not have been possible. Their unwavering dedication and support have paved the way for an exceptional and memorable experience at MRC 2024.

Once again, we welcome you all and look forward to seeing you in Chicago, Illinois!
