AMIC Lunch with Industry Seminar Series Video Recap Released

See the video recap of the Lunch with Industry Seminar Series are semester-long series of curated seminars featuring regional companies in the Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Semi-Conductor and other related industries. Seminar attendance is typically around 90 attendees including graduate students, postdocs, faculty and others interested in learning about area companies. Companies enjoy this extra opportunity to reach this pool of potential employees.

Investigating a Replacement for Oil-Based Plastics and Taking Computer Simulations to the Next Level are Focus of 2021 AMIC Seed Projects

Understanding how the crystal structure of a new polyester material affects its usefulness as a replacement for a common oil-based plastic will be the focus of a new research project recently selected for funding. A second project selected in this round will develop never-before-accomplished 3D simulations of an optical materials characterization technique known as random lasing. Both of these projects have been selected for funding in 2021 by the University of Wisconsin Advanced Materials Industrial Consortium (AMIC) as part of the organization’s seed program and will be supported with in-kind contributions from partnering companies.
