US-Asia Technology Management Center (US-ATMC) Director Dr. Richard Dasher will discuss US-ATMC’s major accomplishments in a review of the Center’s research, education, and outreach programs over the last year, and the Center’s plans for the 2026 – 27 academic year.

Our keynote speaker this year is Prof. Reinhold Dauskardt, Dept. of Materials Science Engineering, Stanford University, on “Materials Science @ Stanford: The Last (1919 – 2019) and Next Century”.

We’ll also hear from US-ATMC Visiting Scholars as they present brief remarks on their activities and research findings over the past year.

Agenda:

• 4:30 PM US-ATMC Update and Strategic Overview from Dr. Richard Dasher, Director, US-ATMC
• 4:50 PM Keynote from Prof. Reinhold Dauskardt, Dept. of Materials Science Engineering, Stanford University on “Materials Science @ Stanford: The Last (1919 – 2019) and Next Century”
• 5:25 PM Break
• 5:35 PM Introductions to research by current US-ATMC visiting scholars

About Prof. Reinhold Dauskardt:

Reinhold Dauskardt is the Ruth G. and William K. Bowes Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and has additional appointments as Professor in Mechanical Engineering, the Biodesign Institute and the Department of Surgery, Stanford School of Medicine.

The underlying theme of his research is to enable innovation and design of high-performance materials and devices by exploiting the fundamental connection between material structure and resulting thermomechanical function and reliability. His research group studies the chemistry and molecular structure of materials in bulk form or thin films and their thermo-mechanical behavior, adhesive and cohesive fracture properties, and behavior under complex loading and environmental conditions. Materials include thin-film and layered structures for nanoscience and energy technologies, high-performance laminates, biomaterials and soft tissues.
