Condensed Matter Seminars
Our condensed matter seminars are held on Tuesdays at 3:30pm in CP-179, unless otherwise noted below. On the first Tuesday of each month we hold the "Center for Advanced Materials" seminar at the same place and time. Please contact the organizers if you would like to meet with a visitor. The CM seminar is organized by Ambrose Seo and the CAM seminar is organized by Ribhu Kaul.
