Materials Today and Rice University are proud to present the first “Materials Today: The Future of Materials Science in the Next Two Decades” workshop.
Materials science is not only one of the fastest growing and most rapidly evolving scientific disciplines, but also one which stands at the forefront of modern technology, spanning every facet of 21st century life. This unique event will bring together leading researchers spanning the field of materials science and engineering to present and discuss cutting edge research with other experts in the field: exchanging ideas to advance current understanding towards the future of materials science.
As we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Materials Today, the workshop will focus on the next two decades, comprising four key themes:
- Next-Generation Manufacturing
- Next-Generation Integrated and Embedded Sensors
- Biomaterials and Soft Active Materials
- Materials and Data Science
Each session will be led by Rice pioneers in the area, with top speakers from across the field of materials science. Current invited speakers include: John Rogers (Northwestern University); Meyya Meyyappan (NASA); Long-Qing Chen (Penn State); Jim Warren (NIST); Kam Leong (Columbia University); Doris A. Taylor (Texas Heart Institute); Joseph M. DeSimone (University of North Carolina); Tobias A. Schaedler (HRL Laboratories) with more to be announced.
