Dear all, The next Future BNC Meeting will be today Thursday, 3/7 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. Dana Weinstein , Associate Director for Operations, Birck Nanotechnology Center and Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering will be presenting her latest research thrusts, including efforts in ferroelectric MEMS and microrobotic actuators. She will use the majority of the time to introduce key initiatives in improving Birck operations, and will seek feedback on what is working, what isn’t, and how do we best move forward as a facility and as a research community. No meeting next week due to Spring Break. Below is the schedule of future BNC strategic thinking discussion meetings, please mark your calendars to attend if possible.
