The goals of the session are to examine synergies and challenges that have already been identified, gather inputs on additional ones, look for additional application areas that span both domains, and outline a few opportunities to fund research and development activities that benefit both areas. As common threads emerge, we will seek collaborations from the community to address the opportunities.
