About the Strongly Correlated Electronic
and Mesoscopic Systems (SCEaMS) Group

• The SCEaMS Group Seminar is a (roughly!) weekly gathering that brings together some 25 to 50 undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty at UIUC with interests in mesoscopic systems (and related areas).
• The program is quite varied, consisting of tutorial lectures, discussions of in-progress research and recent journal articles, and external seminar speakers.
• The program is also very flexible, and responds rapidly to exciting new developments.
• There are four elements to the mission of this seminar:
  • to disseminate the very latest research results from our own groups and from elsewhere;
  • to contribute to the education of graduate students by bridging the gap between conventional course work and research;
  • to foster interaction between experimentalists and theorists;
  • to help graduate students improve their public presentation skills.
• The program of activities for the forthcoming week is broadcast electronically. (Send e-mail to Paul Goldbart if you would like to be included on the mailing list.) It can also be reached from here.
