MNS Program Advisor - Rick Marta MNS Society President - Nayla Qureshi
The MNS 10 Seminar is a seminar course run jointly by the Department of Chemistry, Department of Physics & Astronomy, and the Materials and Nanosciences Society (MNS Soc). This course features weekly presentations by professors, graduate students, and researchers across various disciplines in materials science, many of whom are proud MNS alumni!
“As the MNS Society president, one of my main goals was to get MNS Soc re-involved with the MNS 10 Seminar course. In the past, we played a role in organizing it, but over time, that connection faded. I really wanted to change that—and shift the sessions from biweekly to weekly—to help more students participate and hear from professors and grad students in various fields. MNS 10 is such a great opportunity for first-year students to hear about opportunities and fields related to our program.” — Nayla Qureshi, MNS Society President
Nayla has worked closely with program advisor Rick Marta to line up engaging speakers and coordinate research lab visits from both the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Engineering. The result has been an incredible turnout, with students from all years attending to explore the latest in materials and nanoscience research.
The seminar also offers a unique opportunity for students to engage directly with their student government and program leadership, while exploring cutting-edge topics in science and engineering.
