Tech Shops

Tech Shops are student-led presentations on scientific techniques that are useful in materials research and deemed interesting by our members. Each 20-30 min talk covers the theory behind one technique, its experimental considerations, and real applications of the technique. The informal format allows members to learn new techniques or review old ones in a low-pressure setting, while providing an excellent opportunity for networking.
