Adam Mann wins an Outstanding Student Poster Presentation Award at the Gordon Research Conference GRC: Role of Molecular Design in Polymer Physics. The poster is entitled “Strengthening Isoporous Polymer Membranes through Chain Entanglements”.
The GRC Frontiers of Science Conference Description follows:
"The Polymer Physics GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
Polymer physics is a broad and interdisciplinary field with impact across diverse societal needs and industrial sectors, including energy, infrastructure, transportation, water, and health. The 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Polymer Physics will focus on new experimental, simulation, and theoretical developments over a range of emerging topics of societal importance including polymer upcyling and energy storage materials as well as fundamental questions such as the role of big data in polymer science and the physics of charge interactions in polyelectrolytes."
