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. Tucker. For colliquium speakers and colliquium topic suggestions, please
contact
P. Cvitanovic',
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.
