Dr. Tansel Karabacak, chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UA Little Rock, will share his work as the featured speaker of the June Arkansas Research Alliance Project Scope on June 16.

The monthly talk takes a closer look at research in the state conducted by members of the Arkansas Research Alliance Academy of Scholars and Fellows.

Karabacak will discuss his research on the synthesis of nanomaterials and their applications. The talk will begin at 11 a.m. Wednesday, June 16, via Zoom. The event is free, but registration is required.

“I would like everyone to know that we develop novel materials that are relevant to Arkansas’ economy and that research is an integral part of education at UA Little Rock,” he said. 

Karabacak was also recently featured in the “Discovery Economics” column in Arkansas Money and Politics, where he reveals the challenges and rewards of developing laboratory research for use in the public sector.
