The Materials Science and Engineering Seminar Series

Join us for the Materials Science and Engineering Seminar Series, which brings experts from around the country to campus to discuss their recent findings. Everyone is welcome! Most seminars are Fridays at 1 p.m. in Room 2108 Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Building (please see the schedule for exceptions).

Titles and abstracts will be added as they are received.

Please contact Annette Mateus at (301) 405-5207 or amateus@umd.edu if you have any questions about our seminars.

You can find all of these seminars, as well as others of potential interest, on our events calendar.
