The Complex Fluids Design Consortium has brought together UCSB faculty with researchers from industry and national laboratories interested in the computational design and processing behavior of soft materials and complex fluids. The Annual Review and Workshop will feature presentations related to:

MRSEC Director’s Meeting Agenda National Science Foundation June 23-24, 2010 Dinner 6/23 Business meeting of NSF program directors, chair/vice chair, and working group leaders* (Pinzimini 6:30 PM) Meeting Day NSF Stafford II - room 555 (pick-up badge in the main building first)

Partnership for Research & Education in Materials Event Featuring: Bert Meijer, Eindhoven University of Technology Roeland Nolte, University of Nijmegen

The focus is on Educational and Outreach opportunities provided by the MRSEC and PREM programs with 4 sessions on Sunday afternoon, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Following sessions: Session 1 Session 2

The location of the workshop rotates among the member institutions for the Spring and Summer sessions. Our first meeting was in December 1999 and meetings have been held at Boston University, Brandeis University, Brown University, Clark University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, University of Connecticut, and the Universities of Massachusetts at Amherst and Boston. The Fall meeting is held mid-September at Brandeis, and the Winter meeting mid-December at Harvard.

The International Center for Materials Research (ICMR) at UC Santa Barbara will hold a Summer School on the Intersection of Surface Science with Biomolecular Structure and Function from June 19th – July 1, 2010 at UCSB. The School is aimed at graduate students and junior researchers working in the field of surface science that have interest in simulation, characterization, experimental approaches of biomolecule-surface interactions.

Join DMR Division Director Germano Iannacchione and DMR program directors for our monthly office hour and Q&A session.

The spring Director???s Meeting will be held at the University of Washington in Seattle over two days, May 1-2 2008. The meeting will begin in the early afternoon on Thursday and adjourn late morning on Friday. This schedule will allow travelers from the east coast to arrive on the 1st and depart on the 2nd.The theme of the meeting is ???The Interface Between Biology and Materials???.The spring Director???s Meeting will be held at the University of Washington in Seattle over two days, May 1-2 2008.
