MateriAlZ Seminar Series
We are excited to announce a new lecture series in the broad field of Materials Science jointly organized by the major/leading Arizona universities. The series will launch in fall 2020 and will be held fully online. We will organize weekly seminars with a rotating schedule of eminent scientific leaders from Arizona and other high-profile universities, national labs and industry. The series will cover the following four major categories:
- Topological materials, quantum materials
- Materials theory modeling, and informatics
- Materials, energy and manufacturing
- Soft matter, polymers, biomaterials
Student engagement:
Each talk will be followed by an interactive session between the speaker and UA/ASU students, that is facilitated by the organizers allowing the students to engage with the speaker.
Broader impact:
The seminars will be recorded and published on a YouTube channel. All speakers will be informed and will give their consent.
The goals of this lecture series are:
- to create a platform for active discussions in the different areas of materials science,
- to increase students´ engagement in discussions with experts in their field,
- to facilitate networking between the speakers, attendees, researchers at the Arizona universities and the students,
- to increase the nation-wide and international visibility of the Arizona universities,
- to promote active collaborations and networks between the Arizona universities.
We are certain that this series will be a long-term event with many benefits and we hope you will support us in our efforts.
“By partnering with our colleagues at ASU to create this weekly lecture series, we’re moving beyond research to educate and prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers,” said Elizabeth “Betsy” Cantwell, senior vice president for research and innovation at the University of Arizona. “We want to serve as a regional hub for materials science and engineering, placing Arizonans on the cutting edge of technological developments, from hypersonics to quantum computing.”
Stay tuned!
A list of confirmed speakers is given below. We will update the roster as and when we receive confirmation from other invited speakers. For more information, visit material-az.org.
