Abstract:
Manufacturing USA is a relatively new government initiative to form manufacturing ecosystems around the U.S. in efforts to on-shore production, develop a skilled American workforce, and build resilient and sustainable supply chains. As of today, Manufacturing USA has sixteen institutes working in strategic technology areas ranging from robotic and AI to biopharmaceuticals and photonics. This presentation focuses on the 2023 Mather NIST Policy Intern’s task to develop a framework to draw inferences on these institutes’ membership characteristics, which will potentially be built into a performance review mechanism to be used by the sponsoring agencies, the DOE, the DoD, and the DOC, in the future. This projects draws from publicly available membership data to make observations pertaining to membership categories, longevity, and industry/academia participation. Aside from this project the presentation will also touch upon other side activities the intern had participated in over the summer such as the NIIMBL Annual Meeting, Atlanta HI-TEC Conference, and technical drafting assistances for Congressional offices.
My name is Gizem and I am rising senior at Bowdoin College, pursuing a bachelor’s in Physics and Government and Legal Studies with a concentration in International Relations. I am originally from Istanbul, Turkey and I’m a former SPS Physics Today Science Writing Intern. I believe sciences, physics in particular, possess immense potential for technological advancements to improve standards of living all around the world. Therefore, I aspire to build a career in science policy and defense technologies.
I’ve previously worked at American Enterprise Institute as the Science, Energy, and Environment Policy Intern in my junior year. Simultaneously, I’ve authored a research paper on the performance optimization of the DOE/DoD national laboratories at American University. I am currently studying abroad in Berlin, Germany, completing a Security Studies and International Affairs program. In the summer of 2023, I am excited to take on the role of the Mather Policy Intern for NIST and meet the incoming class of SPS interns!
