Laboratory to Launchpad: Bringing Your Energy IP to Life
Date: Jun 11, 2026
Registration is now open for Laboratory to Launchpad: Bringing Your Energy IP to Life, a one-day conference hosted by Johns Hopkins University on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center, 555 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, D.C. This event is designed for faculty, students, staff, postdocs, researchers, and innovators interested in translating research into real-world impact. While the conference is centered on energy-related technologies, the topics are broadly relevant to anyone interested in commercialization, intellectual property, startup formation, translational strategy, research communication, and moving discoveries from the lab into industry and society.
Highlights include:
- A featured talk from Dr. David Gates, CTO of Thea Energy
- Workshops on pitching research, securing federal funding, intellectual property, licensing, and startup growth
- A working lunch panel on cross-disciplinary innovation and translational research
- A live pitch competition with judges from D.C. venture capital firms
- A networking reception to close the day
Quantum Computing in Practice: Hands On with Quantinuum

Data-Driven Materials Modeling Workshop
Date: May 29 – 31, 2024
Join us for the first Data-Driven Materials Modeling Workshop, happening Wednesday, May 29, through Friday, May 31. This three-day workshop will have a distinct theme for each day with expert speaker seminars in the mornings followed by hands-on workshop sessions in the afternoons. The morning session targets researchers—both experimental and computational—looking to integrate data-driven approaches into their projects and includes a keynote from a leading expert on the topic, followed by a talk highlighting developments within Hopkins. The hands-on session targets students looking to learn implementation details led by graduate students and postdocs.
