The in-person event at DMS will include the following:

1. DMS-MIT Special Guest Lecture:

On May 13th, the Dallas Makerspace and the MIT Club of DFW will jointly host an remote  special guest lecture featuring Professor Moungi Bawendi from the MIT Chemistry Department. Professor Bawendi will share about his groundbreaking work on quantum dots—nanoscale semiconductor materials that have revolutionized a wide range of applications including medical imaging, consumer electronics, and solar energy. There will be opportunities for questions at the end of the lecture.

About Professor Bawendi: Dr. Moungi Bawendi is the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Born in Paris, he moved to the United States as a child and went on to earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Harvard University, followed by a PhD in chemistry from the University of Chicago. In 2023, Professor Bawendi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry as a co-recipient for his "discovery and synthesis of quantum dots."
