MRSEC faculty member Axel Enders organized the third annual Women in Physics Conference (WoPhy11) which was held in Lincoln from October 20 - 22, 2011.
Sponsored by MRSEC, the theme of this year’s conference was “Materials Girls.” The conference highlighted progress in Materials Science done by undergraduate women in physics, chemistry, and engineering at colleges and universities, with an emphasis on institutions in the central plains region. The conference paid all local expenses for the attendees and their faculty research mentors, and helped with travel expenses for many of the participants. The program featured plenary talks by eight highly accomplished women scientists from around the country. Over 80 undergraduate students from 24 states participated in this years conference and many of the students presented either invited oral talks or posters. It was the most successful WoPHY Conference ever.
