Semi-Conductor Industry Interaction Day 2019

Semi-Conductor Industry Interaction Day || Friday, November 22, 2019

The UCSD Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, UCSD Materials Science and Engineering Program, Division of Physical Sciences Dean's Office, and Division of Physical Sciences Center for Student Success are 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, November 22nd, 2019. The program will include talks by industrial scientists, lightning talks by postdocs and doctoral students, and a panel discussion to provide advice to our graduate students on how to pursue a career in industry.

Date: November 22, 2019
Time: 11am - 6pm
Location: NSB Auditorium

For more information, please contact: Amy Tran (aht021@ucsd.edu) or Erica Lennard (erica@ucsd.edu)
