Dr. Jones is on the Advisory Board for TRECK.

Two ATI student papers were presented at the conference, one from M.S. student Cailis Bullard and the other from Ph.D. student Sunday Okafor.

Dr. Jones and Dr. Kofi Adanu, Associate Research Engineer with ATI, delivered a capacity development workshop to young and early career researchers on how to develop and publish academic papers.
