Please join us on Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. in Millennium Science Complex in the 3rd floor commons talks in the Semiconductor Seminar Series. This series brings researchers together from all over campus to discuss semiconductor materials and devices. Now is a great time for discussions because of opportunities created by the CHIPS and Science Act.

Each week, two groups will highlight their research in short talks (20–25 min each).  We hope that new research collaborations will emerge and that students will gain a broader perspective of the field of semiconductor materials and devices.
