The goal of the upcoming Chemistry & Materials Track Course is to introduce early-stage PhD students with backgrounds in chemistry, physics, and/or biology to the diverse range of contemporary chemistry-related topics based on research conducted at ISTA. The presentations will be given by several ISTA PIs, who won’t just deliver their typical research talks – they will also share how their research projects evolved, including personal stories about their academic journeys that led to why they do what they currently do.
Target group: First-year PhD students aiming to conduct research in chemistry, but also interdisciplinary research involving biology, physics, and/or materials science
