ENCOMM Seminar Series: New Directions in Materials Research

The Ohio State University Center for Exploration of Novel Complex Materials (ENCOMM), Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research (IMR), and Center for Emergent Materials (CEM) jointly announce ENCOMM Seminar Series: New Directions in Materials Research in Autumn 2026. 

With the evolving landscape of scientific research and funding, it is increasingly vital for the OSU materials research community to convene, identify promising new research frontiers, and strengthen collaborative teams to pursue major block grants and funding opportunities. Following our five seminars hosted in Spring 2026, the Autumn 2026 series will introduce six additional faculty members, highlighting their research expertise and scientific interests.

The following seminars will be held in the Physics Building (PRB), room 4138.

 

For those unable to attend in person, a remote option is available for all seminars via Zoom:
