IPRIME Mid-Year Workshop

Industrial Partnership for Research in Interfacial & Materials Engineering (IPRIME) is pleased to announce a one-day, in-person workshop on the analytical capabilities in the Characterization Facility (CharFac) that are available to industry.

Characterization Facility Capabilities for Industry Access and Collaboration
Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2023
Keller Hall, Room 3-180
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

Registration opens Monday, Dec. 19, 2022.

This workshop is co-sponsored by the Nanostructural Materials and Processes program and the Characterization Facility (CharFac).

About the workshop
This workshop is intended to broadly communicate, and describe in some selective detail, the analytical capabilities in the Characterization Facility (CharFac) that are available to industry.

The full-day workshop will include four sessions covering two main topics. The first topic, spanning three of the four sessions, will describe the analytical capabilities of the facility by highlighting instrumentation, applications and staff expertise. The second topic will exemplify collaborations with the staff on open research via the IPRIME fellows program and similar routes, plus some new developments. As such this last session will highlight collaborative projects that emphasize analytical methods, including goals of (i) developing analytical expertise, (ii) exploring methodologies (e.g., parameter space, complementary techniques), and (iii) generating new insights on specific materials and device constructs (i.e., technological problems).

Registration is required and is free.

The workshop is free and open to IPRIME member companies, invited guests, and University of Minnesota faculty, students, and staff. Registration is required.

Prospective IPRIME members interested in attending as guests should contact Satish Kunar at kumar030@umn.edu.
