From November 23-27, 2017, Associate Director Kyle E. Cordova and global science alumni Dr. Ha La Nguyen provided multi-day lectures at the “Workshop on Metal-Organic Frameworks: Definitions, Synthesis, Characterizations, and Applications” held at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) in Indonesia. The workshop was organized by the Research Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (the newest Global Science Node). Topics presented by the BGSI delegation included reticular chemistry, structural characterization of MOFs, and applications of MOFs.
