DSSC Review Structure

In response to our continuing need for social distancing, we will be holding the DSSC Spring Review as a series of Zoom sessions in May and June occurring on alternating Tuesdays: 9-11AM CA Time (12-2PM PGH Time). Our first review will be Tuesday, May 19 and will feature an overview of the Center as a whole, our HAMR program, and talks on HAMR heads and media. Subsequent weeks will focus on additional talks on HDD Topics as well as talks focusing on logic and memory projects. See below for a complete schedule of presentations.

For security reasons, Zoom connection details will be sent via email. Please register to be sure you receive these details.
