8:30 am - 5:30 pm
Sheraton Boston Hotel, 2nd Floor, Republic Ballroom
This Forum addressed the pioneering contributions of Mildred Dresselhaus in the field of advanced materials, with emphasis on thermoelectric and carbon-related materials, and how these contributions have resulted in significant improvements in the quality of life. Throughout human history, materials, from Stone Age to Iron Age to Bronze Age to present-day semiconductors and advanced materials (including nanomaterials), have defined major progress in our civilization, because for every technology, there is a materials science bottleneck that must be addressed and problems solved.
This MRS Forum brought together scientists and engineers of international repute to address the contributions of Mildred Dresselhaus in the context of the 2012 Acta Materialia Award for Materials and Society.
