  - Conformal windings of REBCO high-temperature superconducting tape for ultra-high-field dipoles for future hadron colliders
  - Cable-in-conduit dipoles for a Collider in the Sea, which could provide an affordable basis for an ultimate-energy hadron collider: 500 TeV collision energy, >5x10^35 cm-2s-1 luminosity
  - Blocks-in-conduit REBCO-based 40 kA cable for a 20T @20K toroid for compact tokamaks for fusion power
  1.5 T Open-MR magnet for walk-through breast cancer screening
  - GHz Multi-zone MR spectrometer for cost-effective resolution of protein structure and protein binding for molecular medicine.
  - Prof. McIntyre will give a cook’s tour of his lab, and introduce several of his current graduate students.
