Saturday, July 20, 2022 | 9:00am – 12:15pm ET
Multiple Speakers
Please RSVP to Elizabeth Green (ebgreen@mit.edu) to receive the Zoom information.
Join the MIT and MTL (Microsystems Technology Laboratories) communities in presentations of cutting edge research during this half day virtual symposium, on the morning of July 20.
MTL is predicated on the notion that nanoscale science and technology can help solve some of the world’s greatest problems in areas of energy, communications, water, health, information, and transportation, among others. In this regard, MTL’s mission is to foster world-class research, education, and innovation at the nanoscale.
