NanoForum

The NanoForum is a highly interactive seminar in which graduate students present their research to other nanoscience students in an informal, discussion-oriented setting. As part of the Graduate Education Research Board project (GERB), NanoForum emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration among students researching nanoscience from different perspectives. The forums are held on scheduled Tuesdays at 4pm. Pizza and refreshments are provided!

In an effort to get more interdepartmental involvement, we will be holding NanoForums in the Academic Research Building (ARC) as well as Clippinger Labs. The ARC building is connected to Stocker center on West Green. 

For more information, please contact Dr. Gang Chen.
