PROGRAM • SPEAKERS • WORKSHOPS & PANELS • TOURS • STUDENT POSTERS
Hewlett Packard
Making inventions real! Tour the HP facility where Ink Jet & HP calculators were first conceived and then ramped to production. The HP Corvallis site has a strong history of invention and manufacturing. Learn end-to-end how HP moves leading edge ideas from R&D to deliver compelling products & technologies via innovative & robust manufacturing. Tour will include analytical and laser lab and production facilities for some of HP’s latest technologies and products. (You will need to declare your citizenship for this tour, and there may be citizenship restrictions.)
O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory
See unique wave-making infrastructure at one of the world’s largest facilities for studying tsunamis and coastal natural disasters.
OSU TRIGA Reactor
Learn how OSU’s 1.1 MW water-cooled, pool-type research nuclear reactor supports OSU’s research and instructional programs. (You will need a picture ID issued by your university or the state or federal government for this tour.)
OSU Electron Microscopy Facility
Visit our state-of-the-art Titan transmission electron microscope and many scanning electron microscopes and see images of nanostructures both biological and inorganic.
OSU Dynamic Robotics Laboratory
OSU Physics: Physics Education Research
How do students learn physics? how are novices and experts different? how do you design interaction into instruction? Discuss these topics and more with the creators of the Paradigms in Physics program.
OSU Physics: Organic Photonics and Electronics
Look at a single molecule! trap a particle with light! learn how organic molecules will make better solar cells and transistors!
OSU Physics: Terahertz Spectroscopy
Terahertz radiation is used in airport scanners, but we use it to study the real-time behavior of excited electrons in quantum wells, graphene and myoglobin!
OSU Physics: Micro-femto Energetics
See the world’s most tunable femtosecond laser and explore light/energy harvesting at atomic-scale interfaces.
OSU Physics: Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene
Carbon nanomaterials are small but sensitive. Witness some of the world’s smallest sensors and solar cells in action!
OSU Physics: Collective Cell Biophysics
How do cells communicate and collaborate? Come and see them play Mexican waves, and talk through string telephones!
OSU Physics: Single-molecule Biophysics
See a kinesin protein motor in action using a TIRF microscope, and learn how we try to understand the biophysical mechanisms of cellular processes.
OSU Physics: Semiconductor materials
Pulsed laser deposition of semiconductor thin films for solar cells and thermoelectrics is our business. See our characterization and deposition facilties.
