Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division

Have you ever wanted to know what it is like to work at a US Naval Research & Development Laboratory? I would like to introduce you to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division where I have had the privilege of working for 12 years. The Naval Surface Warfare center is the preeminent facility for solving the US Navy’s challenges. NSWC Dahlgren has been providing solutions for the US Navy since 1918 and has been part of ground breaking technology advancements that have allowed the US Navy to maintain a competitive advantage. I will spend my time discussing NSWC Dahlgren research, opportunities for visiting faculty, student internships and opportunities for employment. If you are interested to learn about our facilities, areas we are leading in research and how you could join our team, stop by for an hour on the 23 rd of February.
