The ENERGIZE NRT Annual Symposium brings together researchers, students, and industry partners for a full day of scientific exchange centered on this year’s theme: Data‑Driven Discovery in Sustainable Energy Materials. The event will feature a keynote lecture by Jeffrey Neaton, the Director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Molecular Foundry” Nanoscale Science Research Center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, offering insights at the forefront of computational materials science.

Attendees will also engage with cutting-edge student research during the graduate poster session, hear from academic leaders in a series of faculty research presentations, and gain perspectives on research challenges in industry applications as well as emerging career pathways in an afternoon industry panel session. The symposium aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and showcase innovative data‑enabled approaches to advancing sustainable energy materials.
