Chemical Engineering Leads the Way at MRS with Record Number of Presentations
Last week, over 5,000 attendees visited Boston for the 2016 MRS Fall Meeting and Exhibit. The Materials Research Society (MRS) is an organization of materials researchers worldwide that promotes communication for the advancement of interdisciplinary materials research and technology to improve the quality of life.
The Department of Chemical Engineering had 49 presentations from students, faculty, and postdocs. One of the most memorable parts of the conference was the Science as Art Competition, where attendees submitted dynamic and beautiful images obtained using modeling and simulation as well as other material imaging techniques.
"This was my first time at MRS, and my second time at a conference ever. The conference was overall very impressive, with lots of exciting research presented from an eclectic group of talented individuals,” remarks Andrew Spencer, President of Graduate Student Council.
