Seminars and Lectures

Our department is a national leader in materials science and engineering research. We share and sustain that work with seminars and symposia that bring our faculty and students together with partners from government, industry and academia.


Departmental Seminars

Every fall and spring, our department invites speakers from both industry, early career, and academia to present their research to the materials science community. These seminars are open to all MSE faculty, undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students. Refreshments are usually provided.
