Colloquia
Spring 2018 Colloquia
Our department colloquium is a forum for invited scientists to present modern research in a fashion accessible to those with a background in physics, but who are not experts in the field. Talks are aimed at the graduate level.
If you have questions about our colloquium, please contact Dr. Michael Kesden.
