Date and Time: Fri, Oct 29 - Sat, Oct 30
Location: Oct 29: Conference Room, New James Building; Oct. 30: 114 Steidle Building
Organizers: John and Willie Leone Family Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering
Distinguished alumni and accomplished researchers in the field of carbon materials will interpret the past, assess the present and anticipate the future of arguably the most diverse and flexible family of materials known to humankind. The two-day symposium consists of five sessions, each with five or six 30-minute lectures. A poster session showcasing current graduate and undergraduate students' research will conclude the symposium.
The symposium is being presented as part of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences 125th Anniversary celebration. Learn more about the 125th Anniversary
