AVS - SPM / MEMS Groups

About AVS > Chapters, Divisions, & Groups > AVS Divisions > Nanoscale Science and Technology > SPM / MEMS Groups

The technical structure of AVS is organized as a matrix. Members can participate in one or more Divisions or Technical Groups, each of which is focused around a major topical area. Members may also participate in Chapters and Student Chapters, which are regional organizations that focus on local area needs.
