OMS^3 Onboarding Course

The Optoelectronics Materials Synthesis, Spectroscopy and Systems (OMS^3) course is a signature integrative activity for IMOD. This one-week long course, which will be held at the University of Washington Seattle campus, combines lab technique training relevant to the three IMOD research thrusts and a comprehensive set of professional development workshops designed to increase the ability of the attendees to engage in team science and integrative activities promoted by the center.

With an interdisciplinary team such as IMOD, it is vital for researchers to be able to understand and ‘speak’ each other’s scientific languages. This opportunity for researchers to learn each other’s techniques and gain knowledge about the procedures involved will not only improve the fluency across the Center community, it will also provide valuable interdisciplinary training and understanding for the participants.
