Welcome to the 2012 CCMR Symposium
Early bird registration has been extended through May 4th!
The 2012 CCMR Annual Symposium will take place at the Physical Sciences Building, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, on May 22, 2012.
Research within the CCMR focuses on developing a fundamental understanding of advanced materials to predict and improve their properties. An emerging focus in the center is the development of novel characterization methods (“new eyes”) for probing structural, physical and chemical properties of materials with spatial resolution ranging from atomic to macroscopic length scales. The characterization methods developed within the center have impact across a broad range of disciplines, many with commercial applications. This year's program will showcase recent advances in this rapidly advancing field and discuss their future applications in the design and developments of new materials.
The established Sproull Lecture, endowed by former Cornell Vice President, CCMR Director and Physics Professor Robert L. Sproull and his wife, Mary Sproull, will take place during the Symposium. Professor Xiaowei Zhuang, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Professor of Physics at Harvard University, Investigator of Howard Hughes Medical Institute, will be the 2012 Sproull lecturer. Professor Zhuang is a leading expert in single-molecule biology and bioimaging. Her lab develops and applies advanced optical imaging techniques, such as super-resolution light microscopy and single-molecule imaging approaches, to study biological systems quantitatively.
The symposium will include presentations showcasing recent advances at Cornell and in industry and will also feature the ever-popular poster session highlighting our entire research portfolio, our graduate students and postdocs.
We look forward to seeing you in May.
