[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Excitonics organization.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Excitonics, Dear all, As many of you know, we have an excitonics retreat next week (Wednesday) at which many of you need to present. We will talk about presentations and coordination briefly at the Monday excitonics meeting, but start thinking of slides for a 5-10 minute presentation about your work. Currently, the speakers are: Patrick Rebentrost Jacob Sanders Joel Yuen Alejandro Perdomo Man-Hong and Cesar were scheduled but they will be away on travel. Let's talk on Monday about all this, I just want to give you a warning. I need a volunteer to be the local Harvard organizer of our 'excitonics coherent thrust meetings' which will be pretty much joint group meetings with Nelson+Bulovic+Cao+Silbey+Aspuru-Guzik+Crozier once a month after the Excitonics seminar. Best, Alan Jacob Sanders is the person that will be collecting your PPTs and organizing.
