Abstract

Please join us Friday, January 23, 2026 from 12:00-1:00 pm in POB 4.304 for the Materials Discovery Seminar, hosted by computational materials groups from the Oden Institute, the Cockrell School of Engineering, and the College of Natural Sciences. The aim of these seminars is to showcase research from these groups, enable collaboration, and foster interactions among students and postdoctoral researchers. Pizza and refreshments will be available shortly before noon, followed by the two presentations
