Title

Interdisciplinary Symposium

Description

The College of Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, in collaboration with the Physics and Chemistry Departments, presented a symposium to bolster interdisciplinary research between the science and engineering fields. Doctoral students who are engaged in cross-disciplinary research presented their results in a poster format. The symposium, titled "Symposium on Nano-, Micro-, and Mesoscale Technologies in Science and Engineering," also featured two talks by researchers from outside of the university who are well-established in the field of nanostructures and MEMs technologies. The symposium was well-received; over forty doctoral students presented posters to an audience of approximately one-hundred faculty and students. As a result of the symposium's success, plans are underway to organize a more general meeting of science and engineering graduate students from other universities in the Tri-State area who are engaged in cross-disciplinary research.
