NDSU will be the site of the Materials and Nanotechnology Forum to be held Thursday, June 9, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Reineke Fine Arts Center. Presenters from NDSU, Texas A&M University and Tecton Products will be participating. There are no fees for the event and it is open to corporate and university researchers and students in materials and nanotechnology.
More than 25 presentations and poster sessions are scheduled for the forum. A complete schedule of events and list of presenters and scientific abstracts is available at www.ndsu.edu/materials_nanotechnology/news_and_events.
“The goal of the forum is to provide researchers in materials and nanotechnology at NDSU a venue to communicate with each other and initiate larger, higher impact collaborations,” said Erik Hobbie, organizer of the event and director of NDSU’s materials and nanotechnology graduate program.
NDSU’s materials and nanotechnology program offers students an opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary research. It is the only program of its kind in North Dakota. Faculty from chemistry, civil engineering, coatings and polymeric materials, mechanical engineering, physics and pharmaceutical sciences contribute to the materials and nanotechnology program. Researchers in the program also collaborate with the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering at NDSU.
