Director's WelcomeThe mission of the Institute for Physical Science and Technology (IPST) is to foster excellence in interdisciplinary research and education at the University of Maryland. IPST accomplishes this by integrating people, science and technology. Our selective and highly ranked graduate programs in the fields of
provide specialized training at the intersection of traditional fields, and are a central component of our mission. |
News and Special EventsCell Dynamics Symposium at UMCPFebruary 9, 2012. On March 13, 2012, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Arpita Upadhyaya and Wolfgang Losert will host a Cell Dynamics Symposium at the University of Maryland, College Park. The symposium will feature a series of talks that will highlight the latest research on the biology and biophysics of cell migration. Talks will feature both experiments and modeling of cell dynamics from multiple angles, from the dynamics of the actin scaffolding during immune response to the collective dynamics of ensembles of cells. Faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students, as well as researchers from nearby institutions are invited to attend this symposium. There is no registration fee. James Drake elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical UnionJanuary 20, 2011. James F. Drake has been elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Only one in a thousand memebers is elected a Fellow each year. Professor Drake will be honored in person at the December 2012 Fall AGU meeting in San Francisco, CA. Ellen D. Williams interviewed in Physics TodayJanuary 20, 2012. Distinguished University Professor, and IPST faculty member Ellen D. Williams was interviewed by Jermey N. A. Matthews on page 18 of the January 2012 issue of Physics Today. After spending three decades in academia conducting nanotechnology research, Professor Williams, a chemist-turned-physicist, is now tackling the energy problem in the faster-paced industrial environment. She is currently on leave from the University of Maryland to serve as British Petroleum's chief scientist. |
