(AM)LCI 60th Anniversary:
To commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Glenn H. Brown Liquid Crystal Institute (LCI; now Advanced Materials & Liquid Crystal Institute or AMLCI) we welcomed our alumni, friends of the institute, and current as well as former members for a two- day celebration of the Institute on April 25 and 26, 2025. Over the past 60 years, the (AM)LCI has catalyzed countless scientific breakthroughs and created impactful innovations, thereby firmly establishing itself as the global leader in liquid crystal science. The most significant impact on liquid crystal science the institute and associated graduate programs have made, however, are our alumni, and that includes everyone from around the globe who has called the institute home. This includes leaders in industry and academia alike — our ambassadors for liquid crystal science worldwide
