Ever wanted to chat more with the faculty about life outside of academics? Curious what stories the faculty have from their life as international students and researchers? Want to ask questions totally unrelated to academics? 

Join us for a panel and AMA with Profs. Hirabayashi and Romero-Calvo to do just that! A 30 minute panel of audience questions surrounding the theme of “Stories from International Life” will be followed by dinner and ask-me-anything sessions with both panelists. 

Bios: 

• Prof. Hirabayashi received his BS from Nagoya university and an MS from the University of Tokyo. Subsequently he received MS and PhD degrees from the University of Colorado Boulder. He joined GT AE in 2023.  Fun Fact: Prof. Hirabayashi has an asteroid named after him orbiting the main asteroid belt!
• Prof. Romero-Calvo came to Georgia Tech from a small city in Spain called Granada.  He went on to study aerospace engineering at Universidad de Sevilla, Spain. Then, he moved to Milano, Italy, to earn his master’s degree in space engineering at Politecnico di Milano. After completing his master's, he received fellowships from the La Caixa and Rafael del Pino foundations for his Ph.D. at the University of Colorado, Boulder, before landing at Georgia Tech. Fun Fact:As a good CU Boulder alumnus, if you don't see him in his office, he's probably skiing in the Rockies. He is a certified scuba diver and has played classical piano for the last 25 years
