2015 IQIM Seminars
IQIM Postdoctoral and Graduate Student Seminars Archive
The IQIM Weekly Postdoc/Grad Student Seminar is a student-run series focused on sharing work done across the IQIM group. The Friday gathering also offers a chance to interact with other research groups in informal discussions.
If you are interesed in presenting, please contact Tejas Deshpande
A list of all talks, including upcoming speakers can be found at on the Caltech master calendar.
2015 talks are listed in date order from January through December. Abstracts of 2015 talks are available as a PDF here.
