User Executive Committee

The Center for Nanoscale Materials’ (CNM) User Executive Committee (UEC) serves as an advocacy group for the CNM and its user community, provides advice to the CNM Director on matters affecting the user community, and ensures good communication between the CNM user community and CNM leadership. The CNM-UEC is also responsible for organizing the scientific content of the annual joint Advanced Photon Source (APS)/CNM Users Meeting.
