| Seminars |
| The seminars are an integral aspect of the IGERT training program. They provide students an opportunity to learn about contemporary research in nanotechnology that spans multi-disciplinary fields in natural sciences and engineering. Presenters are chosen from a broad background representing national universities as well as international laboratories. A majority of seminars are sponsored by the Center for Nanoscience and Technology and are also attended by students and faculty outside this specific IGERT program. The seminar program will also include several seminars in which UT professors briefly discuss their career path in academia as well as the latest research in their labs. |
