This year's Materials Day will be highlighted by the theme The Convergence of Materials and Life. Materials and devices on and inside the body will lead to better diagnostics, monitoring, and therapy. Join us virtually for a unique and informative Materials Day experience.
Out of an abundance of caution, we will be holding our annual Materials Day via Zoom. The event is free, but registration is still required. Please be sure to download and/or update to the latest Zoom app to your computer prior to the date.
In lieu of the usual poster session, students and technical staff will offer prerecorded Flash Talks are now available (browse all categories listed to the left). The presenters will be available for Q&A sessions at regular times during the two days of Materials Day. We urge you to attend live Q&A sessions to interact with the presenters.
