Dear group,
It is not yet absolutely clear, but it is mostly certain that Alexandra
Olaya-Castro will be with us tomorrow starting at 10.00 AM.
I will have her meet with you guys to learn about your research and for you
to learn about hers. If she ends up going to MIT tomorrow, we will meet her
on Wednesday at 10.00 AM and the same story applies.
Please don't forget that she is a "competitor", so I would encourage you
to
talk mostly if not solely about our published or submitted research, and/or
topics that are not related to our immediate or long-term goals in energy
transfer. She is related to our friends Plenio and Huelga and therefore we
have to be careful.
I would recommend to emphasize the chemical aspects of organic photovoltaic
materials, and "dendrimers" as our main new direction and not talk about
Non-Markovian aspects if any or at all. Of course, if you are working on
quantum algorithms or quantum chemsitry, feel free to describe your
projects. It is only in energy transfer that we have to exercise care.
We will hear from her at 3.00 PM on Wednesday, so we will have 2 group
meeting talks this Wednesday.
Alan
