Subject: Invitation to Attend: Boston Area Excitonics Seminar
Dear Excitonics Community of Boston,
Christoph Kreisbeck and I are pleased to announce the 'Boston Area Excitonics'
seminar series (funded through the Center for Excitonics) will start in the spring of
2017. The general goal is to bring together the many research groups in the Boston area
that work on excited state energy transfer - broadly conceived - for an informal set of
talks (30-45 minutes in length) primarily to be given by students and post-docs. We hope
that this meeting will foster inter-group discussions and collaborations.
The first seminar is scheduled for 6pm, Feb. 9th at Harvard (12 Oxford St, Division Room),
food will be provided. Subsequent meetings will be held once each month through the
academic year. The first speaker of each season will be a faculty member, asked to address
both the highlights of their own work and the broad themes for future research they see
emerging in their particular sub-space of excitonics. We are lucky to have William
Tisdale, the Charles and Hilda Roddey Career Development Professor in Chemical Engineering
at MIT, to deliver the inaugural address.
If you plan to attend, and we certainly hope you can make time to do so, please note your
intention
here<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GSYFF75>75>. This will allow us to have a
reasonable estimate for the food order. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone
who might be interested in attending.
We look forward to seeing you in February!
