Colloquia

Fall 2024

Wednesdays @ 4:00 p.m.

SCI 1.210

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 Kolodrubetz
