CMR Research Seminars

 Center for Materials Research at Norfolk State University holds a series of seminars on Friday afternoons. Unless stated otherwise, the seminars are held at 1:30-2.30 pm in the Conference Room 318,  The Marie V. McDemmond Center for Applied Research.  Refreshments will be served at 1 pm. Speakers are asked to prepare a seminar of around 40 to 45 minutes in length in order to allow adequate time for questions and discussion. We also have sessions with two short (20 min) talks, where students present their work.

If you like to be a speaker or invite someone for the talk, please contact Natalia Noginova at 823-8047, nnoginova@nsu.edu
