Special events
Upcoming Regional Networking Forums
AIP Industrial Outreach hosts regional networking forums—typically collocated at major scientific society meetings—to facilitate interactions among physicists working on or interested in industrial applications. Meeting registration is not required to participate. Each event features an invited speaker on a topic of interest to local industry, and a social event with ample time for networking. Forums often engage the future workforce by providing local students with a venue to present their research.
The next regional forum for physicists from industry, government, and academia will be::
Sunday, November 8 at 5:30 - 7:30 PM - San Jose, CA
AVS International Symposium and Exhibition
at the San Jose Convention Center, Room J2
“Photovoltaics and Nanotechnology”
Chair: James Hollenhorst, Senior Director of IP Strategy at Agilent Technologies
Solar Thin-Film Photovoltaics: No Longer an Outlier
Lawrence Kazmerski, National Center for Photovoltaics, NREL
Molecular Photovoltaics
Michael McGehee, Center for Advanced Molecular Photovoltaics, Stanford University
The AVS and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Corporate Associates
will co-host an applied physics networking forum on photovoltaics and
nanotechnology. This two-hour forum will feature two invited speakers
and an open discussion, followed by a networking reception.
AVS registrants, members of the Bay area business community and local
physics faculty are invited to participate. Students will
share their research in a mini poster session during the reception. AVS
and AIP have designed this forum to facilitate interactions among
physicists working on, or interested in, industrial applications of physics research, with the ultimate goal of helping participants forge relationships and explore ways to collaborate on future initiatives.
Industrial Physics Leadership Summits
Summits are invitation-only roundtable meetings where R&D leaders from AIP Corporate Associate member companies discuss the factors and trends that most affect their R&D enterprise. Participants identify areas of common concerns and discuss possibilities for collaboration. Policy issues, workforce challenges and changing R&D budgets are often central to the discussions.
