Industry Interaction Day

Industry Interaction Day || FRIDAY, MAY 11, 2018

The UCSD Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, UCSD Materials Science and Engineering Program, and Nano3-SDNI are jointly sponsoring an industry interaction day.  Our goal is to enhance the interaction between our PhD students and postdoctoral associates with our colleagues in industry.  The event will be held on Friday, May 11th, 2018.  The program will include talks by industrial scientists,  lightning talks by doctoral students,  and a panel discussion to provide advice to our graduate students on how to pursue a career in industry.   

Date: May 11, 2018
Time: 11am - 6pm
Location: Price Center Forum
