AFM Connect 2026: Upper Midwest Symposium on Atomic Force Microscopy

Join Michigan Tech's Health Research Institute and Materials Characterization Fabrication Core Facility on September 30 for AFM Connect 2026: Upper Midwest Symposium on Atomic Force Microscopy, a one-day conference bringing together principal investigators and researchers using Atomic Force Microscopy across different scientific and engineering disciplines.

AFM Connect 2026 provides researchers with an opportunity to share how AFM is used in their laboratories, highlight current research and technical capabilities, and explore opportunities for inter-laboratory collaboration. The program will include invited research presentations, student and postdoctoral presentations, poster sessions, networking opportunities, and discussions on shared expertise, instrumentation, and future collaborations.

We are delighted to invite you to attend the symposium and submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation describing your laboratory’s AFM research, applications, techniques, or capabilities. You are also encouraged to share this invitation with students, postdoctoral researchers, and other members of your research group who may be interested in participating.
