With support from the Vice Chancellor for Research, UCR's Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) on Spins and Heat in Nanoscale Electronic Systems (SHINES) will hold a workshop at UCR’s Palm Desert Center on January 12-13, 2017. The workshop will focus on the most recent development at the frontiers of spintronics and thermal transport in nano-materials and nano-devices.

The invited speakers include leading researchers in the field: D. Cahill (UIUC), P.C. Dai (Rice), P. Fischer (LBNL), S. Maekawa (JAEA, Japan), C. Palmstrom (UCSB), N. Samarth (PSU), L. Shi (UT Austin), SHINES investigators, and UCR faculty from CNAS and BCOE. Please contact Glenda Barraza (glenda.barraza@ucr.edu) to request a WebEx invitation by January 10, 2017.

SHINES is a DOE-funded EFRC since 2014.
