The goal of the Texas Soft Matter Meeting is to encourage collaboration among researchers from industry and academia in Texas who work with soft materials, ranging from polymers to soft condensed matter to biomaterials. This workshop will rotate between institutions in Texas and be held annually. Each meeting will include longer invited talks, short contributed talks, and unstructured time. We envision that this meeting will provide an interdisciplinary forum in which faculty, students, postdocs, and professionals can exchange ideas in an informal setting.
Thank you to ExxonMobil for providing sponsorship for this meeting!
We are seeking additional corporate sponsors for the Texas Soft Matter Meeting. If you are interested in supporting our effort, please contact the organizer. Funds will be used to defray the cost of student travel.
