It happens at the surface: Growth, properties, and function

Professor Talat Rahman, Department of Physics University of Central Florida, will be visiting the Department of Microtechnology from 7 July to 17 July, during which a mini-workshop will be held.

The mini-workshop is open for all Chalmers employees. For non-speaking attendees, please email Per hyldgaar@chalmers.se so we can try to organize a lunch for you and so we can report attendee list.
