The Center for Emergent Materials at Ohio State University focuses on interactions with industry and National Labs through scientist-to-scientist collaborations and through frequent events that provide opportunities for our students to interact with representatives of these companies and institutions. One area of focus is on collaborations with researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force base in nearby Dayton, OH. CEM has organized collaborations of nearby MRSECs to hold Industry Days that attract a larger slate of industry and national lab reps than we are able to attract for a single center. As a virtual event this is simpler to organize and much valued by students.
