PPSM sponsors a series of seminars covering a broad range of topics of general interest to the polymer community, featuring speakers from both on and off-campus. We invite the polymer community at MIT and elsewhere to participate. For further information, contact Professor Ariel L. Furst at afurst@mit.edu.
Spring 2025 Seminars begin at 3:30 PM on WEDNESDAYS in 56-114, except when otherwise noted
NOTE: Spring 2025 PPSM Seminar series is still under construction—please check back in early 2025 for additional seminars!
