On April 9, at the annual Sea-Air-Space exposition, Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro released the 2024 Naval S&T Strategy, which serves as "sailing directions" for strengthening collaborative relationships to accelerate delivery of innovative solutions to the US Navy and United States Marine Corps. The Strategy aligns with three primary principles established by SECNAV: Strengthening Maritime Dominance, Building a Culture of Warfighting Excellence and Enhancing Strategic Partnerships.

Happy Independence Day! As we celebrate the birth of our nation, ONR takes pride in supporting the brave men and women of the US Navy & United States Marine Corps. Our cutting-edge S&T programs ensure that our Sailors and Marines have the tools they need to protect our freedom and security. Today, we honor their dedication that drives our nation forward!

Happy 101st birthday, #USNRL!

Join me as we celebrate Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA)’s 50th anniversary. They are the force behind America’s Warfighting Navy forward presence, allowing us to preserve the peace, respond in crisis, and win decisively in war, if called to do so.

We're thrilled to announce that Dr. Terry Sejnowski of UC San Diego and Dr. Haim Sompolinsky of Harvard University and The The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, have been awarded the prestigious 2024 Brain Prize for their groundbreaking work in computational and theoretical neuroscience! (They share this honor with Dr. Larry Abbott of Columbia University.) 🧠 The Brain Prize, awarded by the Lundbeck Foundation, is the largest international award in brain research. Dr. Sejnowski and Dr. Sompolinsky received their award from His Royal Highness King Frederik X of Denmark in Copenhagen. ONR is proud to have supported these exceptional scientists -- their pioneering contributions have laid the groundwork for brain-inspired AI, enhancing our understanding of brain function, cognition, and behavior. Their work is pivotal in advancing autonomous systems and robotics, crucial for future naval capabilities. #BrainPrize2024 #Neuroscience #AI #Innovation #ONR #ResearchExcellence #AutonomousSystems #Robotics

Full #STEM ahead! 🌊 SeaPerch - the ONR-sponsored #NavalSTEM program - brings together students from all over the world to showcase the ROVs they built as part of a curriculum designed to boost STEM skills. Naval STEM Director Alexandra (Sandy) Landsberg adds, “Engaging in outreach at events like SeaPerch is crucial for increasing awareness of the real-world problems faced by the Department of the Navy and for showcasing the diverse, rewarding science and technology careers within the organization.” 

Dr. Jennifer Wolk, the Naval Materials S&T Division Director at the Office of Naval Research, visited #NCAME. During her visit, NCAME provided an overview of the additive manufacturing research program at Auburn University and showcased its expertise, instruments, and facilities. Dr. Wolk also introduced the portfolio of the program she oversees at ONR, which focuses on additive manufacturing materials and processes to support #Naval applications. Welcome, Dr. Wolk, to Auburn! We look forward to meeting you again.   Thomas Hill; Shuai Shao; Stefano Beretta; Nima Shamsaei.
