2019 KEMP Symposium (Keck Energy Materials Program)

Friday, September 20, 2019
11:00am-5:00pm in HSCI-103

KEMP sponsors an annual symposium on materials science research and energy related materials. Students doing research present at a joint poster session with the CNSM Student Research Symposium. That poster session is followed by the KEMP symposium where experts in materials science are invited to present recent developments in their field.

All students are encouraged attend the symposium, especially graduate students and upper-division undergraduate students.

Refreshments and appetizers will be served.

About KEMP

The Keck Energy and Materials Research Program (KEMP) provides an exciting, cutting-edge, and research-driven educational experience for undergraduate students in the high impact science of energy related materials. KEMP expands infrastructure critical for energy related materials research opportunities involving multiple faculty and students engaged in collaborative research, and it supports the development of interdisciplinary courses essential for the materials science degree option offered by both the Physics and Astronomy Department and the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department.
