A short course in nanofabrication, microanalysis and analytical techniques
Note that as speakers finalize their travel arrangements, some changes may occur on the agenda.
Keynote Talks
- Both mornings will feature Plenary Sessions with keynote talks by renowned characterization as well as nanofabrication experts.
Networking Opportunities
 |

- Networking Opportunities including gathering places where you can informally ask and share characterization questions and tips, talk with our vendor sponsors and UD researchers during poster sessions (new this year!). PLUS this year we have added a panel discussion with experts discussing Expediting Commercialization of Materials Characterization and Fabrication. Check out the organizations represented by those who participated in the 2015 workshop – and then don’t miss the opportunity to be part of the 2016 event!
Hands-On Laboratory Experiences
- Hands-on characterization and nanofabrication experiences in the University of Delaware’s state-of-the-art Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering (ISE) Lab, Advanced Materials Characterization facilities, and the UD Nanofabrication Lab.
