Materials Physics and Engineering: New Concepts for New or Improved Applications

Friday, October 30, 2015: 3:15 PM-4:45 PM
Chesapeake 7 (Gaylord National Resort And Convention Center)
Chair:
Luz J. Martínez-Miranda, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Maryland, College Park

Description: Materials Physics and Engineering covers a broad range of topics. The speakers will present new research results in materials in both solid state and soft condensed matter, and show that understanding their physical behavior leads to the creation of new or improved materials that can lead to new applications.
