COLLOQUIA of the Computational Materials Science Center
Spring 2007
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. |
