Colloquium talks are usually on Mondays at 2:30pm at Science 2, Room 143 and lasts for an hour or more.
When the Colloquium is scheduled for Thursdays, it is at 3:00 PM pm in Science II, Room number 143. Light refreshments are provided by the physics/ Material department. Abstracts for the talks will be linked as soon as they are available. So, check back often!
All are welcome, and open to the general (campus) public.
