CHN Cross University Seminars
The CHN Cross-University seminars are offered biweekly to all CHN graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and faculty from the beginning of UML’s spring semester to the end of NEU’s classes. These lectures consist of six-eight, two-hour sessions (a 45-minute lecture, an additional 15 minutes for questions, and networking time). Most speakers are recruited from outside CHN core institutions and addressed the issues associated with nanomanufacturing and nanotechnology devices. The seminars also permitted CHN to update its researchers on the latest findings about nanoparticle health and safety.
