Each semester, the School of Physics invites a variety of speakers to come share their exciting research with students and faculty at Georgia Tech. All students and faculty are invited.

If you have questions, or would like to set up an appointment with a speaker, please contact L. Sheridan. For colloquium speakers and colloquium topic suggestions, please contact P. Cvitanovic', M. Kindermann, C. Raman, or J. Wood.

All lectures are on Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. in Lecture Room 5.
(UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED)
The reception will be held at 2:30 p.m. in room N201.
