Axalta Distinguished Lecture

axalta

 

The Axalta Distinguished Lecture Series (formerly the DuPont-Marshall Laboratory Lecture Series) at the University of Pennsylvania is part of an ongoing program of cooperation and interaction between scientists and technical staff members of Axalta Performance Coatings and the Department of Chemistry of the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. The DuPont-Marshall series ended with the closing of the Marshall Labs in 2008, but the series has been renewed with the creation of Axalta Performance Coatings in 2013.
