All are invited to participate in the 6th Annual AD&T Symposium on March 6, 2018, in McCourtney Hall. This year’s symposium will focus on Nano Research of the Biosciences

Our keynote speaker this year is Paul Weiss, Presidential Chair and Distinguished Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Material Science & Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles. Prof. Weiss leads an interdisciplinary research group whose work focuses on the atomic-scale chemical, physical, optical, mechanical and electronic properties of surfaces and supramolecular assemblies. He and his students have developed new techniques to expand the applicability and chemical specificity of scanning probe microscopies, and have applied these and other tools to the study of catalysis, self- and directed assembly, physical models of biological systems, and molecular and nano-scale electronics.
