Materials Research Outreach Symposium at UCSB The Materials Research Outreach Program Symposium (MROP) is an annual event held in early February. The three-day program has been designed to stimulate interaction and collaborations between UCSB research groups and industry scientists. The scientific program features talks by UCSB faculty, students, and industry representatives, as well as poster sessions where the scope of materials research at UCSB can be appreciated through one-on-one contact with graduate students and faculty (link to MROP2008 Abstracts.). As in past years, it is comprised of two consecutive programs. The Macromolecular Outreach Program (MOP) Symposium, which takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, focuses on research efforts concerned with the science and engineering of organic-based macromolecules and polymers. The Inorganic Materials Program Symposium is held on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. As befits the interdisciplinary nature of this effort, our participating faculty represent a number of departments (e.g. Materials, Biomolecular Science & Engineering, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, Mechanical and Environmental Engineering and Physics) and many have joint appointments in more than one department. Support for this program is provided by the University of California, Santa Barbara, the Materials Research Science and Engineering Program of the National Science Foundaion and the Industry-University Cooperative Research Program. Please email Maureen Evans if you would like to be added to our MROP announcement list. Symposium Committee: Craig Hawker, Phone: (805) 893-7161
