The User Meeting will also feature:
- Topical Workshops
- AI/ML approaches to incorporate theory-in-the-loop to achieve autonomous synthesis and manipulation
- Nano Science Frontiers in Quantum Materials
- Best practices for writing a successful user proposal
- Advanced topics and techniques for AFM (hands-on)
- Single Photon Emission and Spin-Based Quantum Sensors(hands-on)
- Towards understanding interactions at the interface of materials and biological systems
- User Group Town-Hall Meeting with the CNMS UEC: provides opportunities for the user community at large to provide additional input on facility operations that affect users.
- Poster Session: students, postdocs, and users are encouraged to participate and present the results of their research and share their experiences at the user facilities. Poster presented by graduate and undergraduate students will also be eligible to compete for the Best Student Presentation award given at the town hall meetings.
- CNMS Tour - A bus will be available on Wednesday afternoon to transport participants from the Crown Plaza to the CNMS and back following the conclusion of the meeting for a tour of the CNMS. Sign up is required and should be done at the time of registration.
