“This is How…” Promotion and Tenure Portfolios and Review

Are you building your P&T portfolio? Have you begun thinking about the components of your P&T portfolio and the review process? Join us for a panel discussion featuring four different viewpoints on P&T portfolio development and review. Panel speakers include Kathy Matthews, (long-term PNT committee member, former Chair, former Dean), Rice University; Kevin Morano, (Associate Vice President, Office of Faculty Affairs & Development) UTHSC; and Stacey Gorniak, Associate Professor, UH. This event will take place in the BioScience Research Collaborative, Event Hall, 6500 Main St. Panel discussion: 3:30 – 4:30 pm. Q&A/Networking reception: 4:30 pm

Kavli Sensing the Future: Workshop 2 / “Biosensing II”
2018-12-06 08:00 - 2018-12-13 17:00 | RICE, 6100 Main St, Houston, Texas, 77005, United States
The Smalley-Curl Institute and the Kavli Foundation present “Sensing the Future: The Future of Sensing” Workshop Series, a trio of visionary, cross-disciplinary meetings at Rice University that will focus on the future of sensing technology. These meetings bring together scientists and engineers from academia, government and industry to identify the grand challenges that could potentially be met by next-generation sensing technologies, and the fundamental scientific capabilities that will be needed to address those challenges. We had a very successful Workshop 1 (see details here) and look forward to the next in the series:

Some focal topics for the second workshop will include a continued discussion of topics such as biomedical diagnostics and imaging, and implantable and wearable sensors.

Featured speakers: Hui-wang Ai (Univ. of Virginia), Lisa Biswal (Rice University), Tzahi Cohen-Karni (Carnegie Mellon University), Markita del Carpio Landry (UC Berkeley), Romain Quidant (The Institute of Photonic Sciences), Jonathan Rivnay (Northwestern University), Jacob Robinson (Rice University), Francois St-Pierre (Rice University), Luisa Torsi (Univ.of Bari Aldo Moro), and Hanyu Zhu (Rice University). Organizing Committee: Kaitlyn Crawford (University of Central Florida), Naomi Halas (Rice University), Christy Landes (Rice University), and Alberto Pimpinelli (Rice University).
