Our outreach program has included numerous lectures and posters by our group members at Clarkson University, other academic institutions, and at national and international conferences.

Our group has extensive ties with industrial partners involved in development and manufacturing of fine particles. Among the most notable applications for such materials are: catalysts for fuel cells (OMG Inc.), electronic materials and transparent conductive coatings (Nanodynamics, Ferro, Phoenix Electronic Displays), fluorescent particles (GE), including for medical diagnostics (Beckman Coulter), nanosize drugs (Elan Technologies), nanolithography (Lincolm MIT Lab), slurries for chemical mechanical polishing (Ferro, IBM, Intel), obscurant smokes (US Army), fuel cells (Umicore).

Eleventh International Symposium on Chemical Mechanical Planarization.

The 11^th International Symposium on Chemical-Mechanical Planarization is scheduled during the month of August. The four-day symposium/workshop will be held (13-16^th of August 2006) at the Hilton Resort in Lake Placid, New York. It will include presentations by industrial and university representatives and a poster session.
