2026 Duke-ORNL Workshop on Advanced Microscopy & Data-Driven Science

Presenter: TBA!

The 2026 Duke-ORNL Workshop on Advanced Microscopy and Data-Driven Materials Science will be held at Duke University on October 12-13, 2026. The workshop will bring together leading researchers, industry experts, and emerging scholars to explore the latest advances in electron microscopy, AI-enabled data analysis, and data-driven materials discovery.

The program will showcase cutting-edge characterization techniques and computational approaches for next-generation energy and quantum materials, including batteries, two-dimensional materials, and complex interfaces. By connecting fundamental research with industrial applications, the workshop will foster collaborations among academia, national laboratories, and industry while engaging regional industry partners.

Students and postdoctoral researchers are especially encouraged to participate. The workshop will feature networking opportunities, career development activities, and a poster session with awards recognizing outstanding student and postdoctoral presentations.

By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, the workshop aims to identify new research opportunities and support the development of the next-generation materials science workforce.
