The UF chapter of the ACS
POLY/PMSE student organization is pleased to announce the inaugural UF Soft
Matter Applied Research and Technology Symposium, or UF SMARTS. This symposium
was created with the intention for graduate students from related departments
(e.g., chemistry, materials, and engineering) to showcase their own
research to a diverse audience, as well as to learn more about other research
similar to their own going on here at UF. The symposium will consist of
approximately 20 student talks (12 minutes each) and a poster session. In
addition, we will have keynote talks from the following UF faculty
members:
Dr. Thomas Angelini (Mechanical
and Aerospace Engineering)
Dr. Jennifer Andrew (Materials
Science and Engineering)
Dr. Brent Sumerlin (Chemistry)
UF SMARTS will be held on
Tuesday, December 1st at the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom (Salon A) from 8:30a to
5:00p.
We encourage anyone who is
interested to submit and abstract for an oral or poster presentation. This
is a unique opportunity to show off your own work while also being exposed to
research from other departments across campus of which you may not have been
previously aware and registration is free!
Abstract Submission Dates:
Nov. 1st for
talks
Nov. 8th for
posters
