This week’s Data-Enabled Computational Engineering and Applied Quantum Computing workshop is about Uncertainty Quantification and will be presented by Professor W. Oates, the Cummins Professor at FAMU-FSU Joint College of Engineering, who studies smart materials and adaptive structures using Bayesian methods for modeling and analysis.
The November 2025 induction ceremony at the ASEMFL Annual Meeting will recognize these faculty members’ achievements across materials science, power electronics, plasma engineering and advanced manufacturing. All five inductees have also earned membership in the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), underscoring their impact on transformative research.
The workshop titled, “Neutron Scattering, High Magnetic Field, and Complementary Techniques for Quantum Materials” will take place in person at Florida State University, Tallahassee.
This workshop aims to bring together experts and users from neutron scattering and high-field Maglab communities, along with specialists in complementary techniques to showcase how neutron scattering, high-magnetic-field, and various other techniques can work together to investigate quantum materials at the forefront of current research.
Engage with the FSU Quantum Initiative!
Enjoy some pizza and learn how students can engage in research opportunities with the FSU Quantum Initiative. Speakers include researchers from the National MagLab, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the FSU Department of Physics. Attendees also can get a behind-the-scenes look at the MagLab (closed toe shoes required].
