A highlight of the NSF Engineering Research Center (ERC) Biennial Meeting, the most recent of which was held September 8-10 in Alexandria, Virginia, is the ERC-wide “Perfect Pitch” competition. Each currently funded ERC sends their champion, determined through an internal contest, to compete against one another. In the Perfect Pitch, a scholar gets 90 seconds and one slide to talk about their research and its potential impact. PreMiEr would like to heartily congratulate Will Stiffler, a graduate student at Duke University and PreMiEr’s Perfect Pitch representative for taking second place at the 2024 Biennial Meeting!

Congratulations, Will! You did a fantastic job!
