APS Faculty Research Presentations

Fall 2006/Spring 2007

All talks are at 3:15 pm in room E126. First- and second-year graduate students are strongly encouraged to attend, and all graduate students are welcome. I encourage students to snoop around faculty web pages and browse their publications before each session. There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions, and we will leave time for cookies before the Colloquium.

Questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions? Contact Jeremy.
