Events

The International Center for Materials Research (ICMR) at UC Santa Barbara will hold a Summer School on the Preparative Strategies in Solid State and Materials Chemistry from August 8-21, 2010 at UCSB. The school is aimed at future leaders of Materials Science: proponents of the idea that selection of materials for specific functions should depend solely on which material is optimal, rather than on what the investigator is familiar with. Candidate attendees are students close to finishing their PhD, and whose research involves materials preparation.

The International Center for Materials Research (ICMR) at UC Santa Barbara will hold a Summer School on the Intersection of Surface Science with Biomolecular Structure and Function from June 19th – July 1, 2010 at UCSB. The School is aimed at graduate students and junior researchers working in the field of surface science that have interest in simulation, characterization, experimental approaches of biomolecule-surface interactions.

The University of Chicago MRSEC is sponsoring a droplet splashing workshop. The aim is to introduce people from the different fluids communities to each other and encourage discussion.

Nanostructured Functional Materials by Design

The 4th PENN-UPRH PREM Symposium on Soft Matters in Materials Science will take place on Friday May 7th, 2010 in Palmas del Mar, Humacao, Puerto Rico. Six plenary talks will be of

We are proud to announce the Materials Research Outreach Program (MROP 2010) Symposium will be held February 3-5, 2010 at the UCSB Corwin Pavilion. As in past years, it will comprise two consecutive programs. The Macromolecular Outreach Program (MOP) Symposium, which will take place on Wednesday and Thursday morning, will focus on research efforts concerned with the science and engineering of organic-based macromolecules and polymers. The Inorganic Materials Program Symposium will be held on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.

The Complex Fluids Design Consortium has brought together UCSB faculty with researchers from industry and national laboratories interested in the computational design and processing behavior of soft materials and complex fluids. The Annual Review and Workshop will feature presentations related to:

The MRSEC Educator Directors Meeting will be held on November 30, 2009 and will be hosted by the Center for Materials Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (77 Massachusetts Ave., see map). We will be meeting in Room 10-105 (The Bush Room). It is located along the main corridor, accessed
