East Anglia Branch AGM 2007
Time: 7.30pm, Wednesday 13 June 2007 (refreshments from 7pm)
Place: Coleridge Room, Jesus College, Jesus Lane, Cambridge
The AGM was preceded by a lecture by Professor Ullrich Steiner, John Humphrey Plummer Professor in Physics of Materials in the Department of Physics, University of Cambridge.
Title: Biomimetic Pattern Formation
Summary: The controlled creation of structures on small length scales is essential for many applications, for example, the manufacture of semi-conductor chips, displays and bio-chips and producing surfaces with special properties such as anti-reflective coatings and self-cleaning surfaces. Many naturally occurring materials owe their properties, such as strength, to small scale structure. Mimicking these structures can produce new materials with technologically important properties.
The lecture was followed by the branch AGM with an address by Robert Kirby-Harris, Chief Executive of the Institute of Physics.
The event included opportunities for networking.
