Front Range Advanced Magnetics Symposium

The FRAMS conferences are for researchers working in magnetics primarily in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains (the American states of Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico). The mission of FRAMS is to foster and enhance interactions and collaborations among geographically separated researchers in different institutions and thereby strengthen the overall magnetics program in the Front Range. FRAMS also serves as a social and networking event. Faculty and staff members, including post-doctoral research fellows, make oral presentations on their very recent work, either complete or incomplete. Graduate, undergraduate, and even high-school students participate in poster sessions. Undergraduate students can learn about opportunities for graduate research, and graduate students can follow leads for postdoctoral positions. This year we will also celebrate the 80th birthdays of Profs. Carl Patton (CSU) and Bret Heinrich (Simon Fraser University) at the FRAMS.

The 7th Front Range Advanced Magnetics Symposium will be held on September 18-19, 2021. It will be in person but also have a virtual option for those who would attend remotely, including participants from outside of the Front Range region.
