The BEST Symposium will be held virtually from July 27–29, 2026. This industrial research career conference, sponsored by Dow, is designed to introduce underrepresented U.S. doctoral and postdoctoral scientists to the wide range of rewarding careers in industrial research, including the many opportunities available at Dow – one of the world’s leading materials science companies. The conference, developed jointly by Dow’s minority scientists and PhD recruiting team, reflects Dow’s strong commitment to building and sustaining a diverse scientific workforce.

The Energy Materials Physics Department is a multidisciplinary research organization specializing in the synthesis and characterization of novel materials for energy and national security applications. We seek to understand and engineer materials that enable advanced energy technologies by linking atomic scale structure, defects, and interfaces to macroscopic hydrogen isotope retention, transport properties, and material performance in extreme environments. Our work encompasses discovery and optimization of materials for hydrogen storage and separations, as well as development of plasma-facing and containment materials for next generation fusion and fission reactors. We also study plasma-materials interactions using state-of-the-art research facilities and employ surface sensitive diagnostic techniques to probe composition and structure in the outermost atomic layers, and use ion implantation to tailor near surface chemistry and defect populations. We also conduct material exposure tests and study the near-surface plasma physics at the US National Tokamak Research facility in San Diego.

Across four sessions, the conference will explore why existing economic frameworks—often built on assumptions of global cooperation, free trade, and exogenous growth unrelated to energy use—fail to account for these rising tensions and the non-linear risks associated with stranded assets and energy costs.
