OMG SASS - Summer Autumn Seminar Series

OMG is pleased to present a summer and autumn series of virtual seminars from an exciting set of (relatively) early career researchers from across the globe.

The series will cover a wide range of topics linked by the common theme of deformation at the microscale –expect mechanics, modelling, microscopy and more!

Open to all in Oxford please contact Dr Anna Kareer,  Prof David Armstrong or Prof Angus Wilkinson to be added to the teams channel .
Anna.Kareer@materials.ox.ac.uk,  David.Armstrong@materials.ox.ac.uk , Angus.Wilkinson@materials.ox.ac.uk

 

The seminars will run weekly on Thursdays at 12:00 noon (unless stated otherwise) through July, August and September 2021.
