Events

ARO - ARL Workshop

Notre Dame will host the Army Research Office (ARO) and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) for the first day of a two-day workshop and event focused on electronic and quantum materials, polymer science, and high energy density materials.
The workshop will include a series of 20-minute presentations by ARO/ARL research scientists and ND faculty on their Materials research. Due to time limitations, sessions focusing on electronic/quantum materials, polymers, and high energy density materials will take place concurrently. Notre Dame faculty and associated researchers are encouraged to attend.
