COLLOQUIA of the Computational Materials Science CenterFALL 2012Coordinator: Estela Blaisten-Barojas
|
By inviting colleagues from other institutions to present their research we constibute to tear down walls that isolate us (a strongly locally focused institution) from the broader scientific community. This colloquium series is of tremendous benefit for the students who are exposed to the latest creative ideas in computational sciences, engineering, data, and physics. Any research program needs to be nurtured and constantly stimulated. 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. |
