NSF MRSECs: Innovative Materials Science – Magnetic Materials and Programmable Assembly Of Materials

Saturday, October 5, 2013: 4:00 PM-5:30 PM
213 A (Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center)
Chair:
Ezekiel Johnston-Halperin, PhD, Associate Professor, The Ohio State University

Description: Materials Research Science & Engineering Centers (MRSECs) allow large multidisciplinary teams of university-based researchers to undertake cutting-edge materials research of a scope and complexity that would not be feasible under traditional funding of individual research projects. This symposium will illustrate the value-added of interdisciplinary researchers for students and researchers.
