I just read Teng Li's entry regarding the launch of SEAS at Harvard. Thanks for posting this interesting information!
On this occasion, I'd also like express my congratulations to Harvard
University in launching the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
(SEAS) last week! It is terrific that the engineering science community in the Boston area is thriving and developing. Best of luck, and looking forward to fruitful interactions in the future!
