IEEE NTC Young Professionals are very excited to have the opportunity to invite you to the “Meet the Experts” Panel Discussion held at the NMDC Conference in Vancouver. Our guests – distinguished scientists and engineers, and prominent IEEE members will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences related to their profession. The experts bring different perspectives to the panel; their diverse backgrounds in various domains will help participants better understand the ever-changing world of nanotechnology and gain new enriching experiences on both a personal and professional level.
