Thank you for your interest in UW MSE's Research & Industry Showcase. RSVPs are now closed. Please contact Karen Wetterhahn, karenlw@uw.edu, with questions.

A photo collage from the 2021 Research & Industry Showcase. Students meet industry representatives and present their findings in a room full of displayed research posters.

At the MSE Research & Industry Showcase (formerly known as Industry Day), our students showcase their research through presentations and poster sessions. Professionals and members of academia are invited to learn, network, and meet prospective interns and job seekers.

Presentations and posters at the symposium cover clean energy generation and storage, biomaterials, semiconductors, composites and more. Attendees can find ideas of interest to their organizations while helping to improve the quality of our graduate education.

2024 Keynote Speaker:

Tracy Lovejoy

Vice President of Electron Microscopy, Bruker

Tracy Lovejoy graduated from the University of Washington physics Ph.D. program in 2010. There he studied physics of materials using STM, XPS, and various synchrotron-based spectroscopies. After graduation he moved to Nion, a developer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEMs). He works to push the limits of STEM technology, especially in the field of ultra-high energy resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Associated developments at Nion over the past decade have introduced fundamentally new capabilities, including phonon spectroscopy of small areas in the electron microscope. He is also involved in business operations and helped with the recent merger of Nion into Bruker.
