COLLOQUIA of the Computational Materials Science Center

SPRING 2016

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 computational approaches in condensed matter, physical chemistry, informatics, and nanoscience are presented weekly by speakers both internal and external to GMU. This activity is part of the Computational Materials and Physical Chemistry Sciences 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 898-001  By inviting colleagues to present their research we constibute to place Mason within a 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 Exploratory Hall, room 3301, except as noted. Coffee and refreshments are served when funds are available. New visitors may find directions to reach our Fairfax campus.
