EnglishWhere to Find News, Seminars, and Events from Ohio State's Materials Science and Engineering Department
Updated
The department's homepage at mse.osu.edu carries both a News section and an Events section, and those two blocks are where you'll find faculty research stories, student features, colloquia, seminars, and conferences. The listings are short previews rather than full archives, so treat the homepage as a starting point and follow each item for details.
The News section
News items appear as dated headlines, newest first. From the snapshot reviewed, the mix spans research, people, and programs:
- Faculty research — e.g., "2026 Distinguished University Professor Alan Luo produces the strongest, lightest metal alloys the world has ever seen" (September 8, 2026) and "New technology could allow wireless medical implants to be built inside the body" (July 10, 2026).
- Student and outreach programs — e.g., "Summer internship programs at Ohio State expose high school students to the science behind manufacturing" (August 28, 2026).
- Department and college news — e.g., "Shanker named interim dean of Ohio State Engineering" (July 29, 2026) and "Dean Howard named president of Spelman College" (June 5, 2026).
- Research funding and initiatives — e.g., "Ohio State–led team secures NSF award to advance to next phase of the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory program" (June 29, 2026).
A More News link sits at the end of the list, which is the route to older items.
The Events section
Events are listed with dates and titles, covering technical talks, alumni gatherings, and larger conferences. Examples from the listing:
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| Sep 22 | WE Colloquium: Andrew O'Connor, In-Space Welding at NASA: Recent Progress and Continuing Needs |
| Sep 24 | MSE Special Seminar: Dheepa Srinivasan, New Alloy Development for Hybrid Additive Manufacturing for Turbine Components |
| Sep 25–26 | Ceramic Engineering Alumni Reunion |
| Sep 25 | MSE Colloquium: Mahdi Hosseini, Engineering Optical Materials and Devices for Quantum Sensing and Communication |
| Sep 29–Oct 1 | International Thermal Conductivity / Thermal Expansion Conferences (ITCC / ITES) 2026 |
| Oct 2 | Materials Science and Engineering Open House |
| Oct 6 | WE Colloquium: Robert Hamlin, Laser Powder Bed Fusion Alloy 625 Gas Tungsten Arc Weld Heat Affected Zone Microcr… |
Two recurring series are worth recognizing: MSE Colloquium and WE Colloquium (Welding Engineering). Both bring in outside speakers on current research, and the titles above show the range — space welding, additive manufacturing, quantum sensing, and welding metallurgy.
How to use these listings
- For research talks: scan the Events block for MSE or WE Colloquium entries, then open the individual event for time, location, and abstract.
- For prospective students: the Events block also surfaces admissions-relevant items such as the Materials Science and Engineering Open House (Friday, October 2, 3–6 PM) and the Welding Engineering Open House (Friday, October 9, 3–6 PM).
- For alumni and industry: the Ceramic Engineering Alumni Reunion and the ITCC/ITES conference show that the calendar extends beyond campus seminars.
One caveat visible on the page itself: the hero banner area reports that it has no unexpired banners configured, so promotional highlights may be missing at times. The News and Events blocks are the more reliable places to check for current activity.
