COLLOQUIA of the Computational Materials Science Center

Fall 2008

Coordinator: Estela Blaisten-Barojas


This series of colloquia is related to the research activities of the Computational Materials Science Center. Recent topics of interest in condensed matter, physics, and chemistry are presented weekly by speakers both internal and external to GMU. This activity is part of the Computational Materials and Chemical Science and Computational Physics components of the doctoral program in Computational Sciences and Informatics. Students interested in obtaining one credit for their attendance can register in CSI 898.

Seminars are held on Mondays at 4:30 PM in Room 301 of Research I, except as noted. Coffee and refreshments are served when funds are available. New visitors may find directions to reach our Fairfax campus.
