Condensed Matter Theory Group Meetings: Michaelmas 17/18

The talks for this semester will occur on Tuesdays at 11:00-12:00. There are still some open slots – willing speakers may contact Ryan (details bottom of page, click the link) regarding talks!

Sometimes we run Dice Seminars, which occur over the course of 5 weeks or so, and consist of us collaboratively learning about a given topic, by reading a paper or paper section and rolling a dice to determine who will talk about what they’ve read. The topic of the last term, for example, was “Weyl Semimetals”.

​Also, there are weekly condensed matter seminars at 3pm on Fridays, which will be interesting for anyone attending our group meetings.  These are advertised internally.
