Seminars 2020-2021
The seminars are informal talks, from colleagues, collaborators or invited researchers from around the UK and the rest of the world. Each talk typically lasts 1 hour including questions. If the talk sounds interesting please come along.
Seminars have traditionally been held in person on Wednesdays at 3.00pm, in Lecture Theatre A of the Department of Physics and Astronomy (unless otherwise stated). However, in the current times, online talks started in May 2020.
Seminars are organised by Andrew Blain and Enrico Ragusa.
