Industrial scientists (Yaqian Liu, BASF) are often the featured speaker at the Wednesday evening Squishy Science seminar.

The Center has extensive interactions with industry, locally, nationally, and internationally. These collaborations provide direct support for research that leverages our NSF-supported MRSEC effort. They also provide essential intellectual stimulus in relevant problems, and an important educational component that introduces our students and postdoctorl fellows to career opportunities in industrial research. We have transferred our research results to a number of recent start-up companies, in both commercial and non-profit realms. We are always open to forging new connections and participate in SEAS-supported Industrial Partnership Workshop each Spring.
