77th New England Complex Fluids Meeting

Objectives:
The workshop brings together researchers with an interest in soft condensed matter and biophysics to discuss their work and explore collaborations. The day will include breaks for lunch and coffee. Attendees are encouraged to present short talks (~3 minutes), and/or posters that highlight current research. Poster spaces are first-come first-served, and early registration is encouraged. The event is free.

Invited Speakers:

Nick J. Carroll, University of New Mexico
Sarah L. Codd, Montana State University
Thomas C. Halsey, ExxonMobil
Gareth H. McKinley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Ho Cheung (Anderson) Shum, Hong Kong University
