Today, I gave the invited colloquium at the Liquid Crystal Institute of Kent State University. It’s quite wonderful to be invited to Kent, because the LCI is one of the most important centers in the world for liquid crystal research. As well as talking, I got to meet many of the
Undergraduate researcher Kate Voorhes today presented research from her summer project at the Summer Scholars Poster Session. Kate received a scholarship to carry out the work over this summer, mentored by Tim Atherton and postdoctoral researcher Badel Mbanga.
Kate had a particularly active summer as she was a key team member in the recent
We’re delighted to announce the continuing program, now in its fourth semester, of Tufts Condensed Matter Physics Seminars. This semester, the seminar series is being managed by Cristian Staii’s group and we look forward to welcoming, as in previous semesters, researchers from other departments at Tufts as well as the Greater Boston and New England areas. Talks take place […]
