The Materials Science & Engineering Department welcomes Dr. Robert L. Snyder, professor and chair of the School of Materials Science & Engineering at Georgia Tech. The two most important events in materials science and engineering in the past 50 years have been the introduction of surface free energy as a tool for creating new materials and the cracking of the genetic code of the entire biosphere. These two events are intertwined at the most fundamental level in that the key to the assembly of complex nanomachines lies within each of our cells.
In this presentation, Dr. Snyder reveals why it is now time to turn this marvelous machine loose to manufacture materials and machines that have nothing to do with evolution. Everyone welcome. A reception for Dr. Snyder begins at 1:30pm.
Location: 601 Nedderman Hall, 416 Yates
