COINS 2023
Since its inception in 2017, the Colloid and Interface Symposium has served as a premier forum for thought leaders in the field to share their cutting-edge research. The highly anticipated 2023 COINS was held at the University of Pennsylvania on June 26-28. The symposium featured an electrifying line-up of speakers who delivered captivating talks, engaging the audience with their groundbreaking findings and insights. Additionally, the event showcased 40 poster presentations that outlined exciting developments in the field. Congratulations to Yifang Ning (Penn), Sebatian Gonzalez LA Corte (Princeton), Ye Chan Kim (Penn) and Dengpin Liu (Hong Kong University) on their poster awards! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the attendees who contributed to the vibrant atmosphere of exchange and networking, making the conference a resounding success. As we look ahead, we are thrilled to announce that COINS 2024 will be held in Korea. Keep an eye out for future announcements regarding this forthcoming event, which promises to be equally captivating and enriching.
