Talk “The role of geometry in directing self-assembly” at Brandeis

April 18, 2013June 11, 2013 Timothy Atherton

537100_986520994094_215164520_nI was delighted today to visit the Physics department at Brandeis University to give a talk in their Materials Research Science and Engineering Center seminar series.

Thanks to the wonderful faculty and students who hosted me and came to the seminar—and for asking such great questions!
