June 7th – 10th, 2022
Singh Center For Nanotechnology
Glandt Forum (3rd Floor)
3205 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19104
The field of topological materials was started at Penn in 2005, and it involved into the field of quantum materials (topological and correlated materials) in 2012. To bring the research on quantum materials at Penn to the next level, we invited around 35 global leaders in topological and correlated materials to host a 3.5-day workshop to discuss about the recent development in quantum materials. We anticipate that this workshop will generate novel big ideas and initiate new collaborations. The purpose of this workshop is also to form a nucleus for quantum material research inside the MRSEC at Penn by lining up with external experts such as sample synthesis experts. It will help graduate students, postdocs and undergraduates at Penn to learn the recent development and future trends in quantum materials and their career development.
