2nd US Low Temperature Plasma Summer School, 2023
The 2nd United States Low Temperature Plasma Summer School (USLTPSS) will be held June 26-30, 2023 on the campus of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA. The USLTPSS is intended to provide an opportunity for graduate students and researchers new to the low temperature (LTP) field to be immersed in the fundamentals and applications of LTPs for one week and to learn from leading researchers in their field.
The ULSTPSS is sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Lam Research and TEL America.
