Refreshments in PHY 313 starting at 3:30 pm
Leo Radzihovsky Department of Physics, University of Colorado
Dr. Radzihovsky's research interests span a broad spectrum of condensed matter, ranging from liquid crystals, colloids, membranes, rubber and other "soft" matter to degenerate atomic gases, superconductors, and quantum Hall systems.

Kyle ShenProfessor of Physics
Department of Physics, Cornell University
Dr. Shen's research focuses on investigating many-body interactions in quantum materials, with the aim of controlling potentially exotic properties such as superconductivity, magnetism, metal-insulator transitions, and topological properties.

Dr. Chen's lab exploits quantum physics to manipulate electrons, atoms, spins and photons in various materials and artificial systems
Cory R. DeanDepartment of Physics, Columbia University
Dr. Dean leads an experimental condensed matter physics laboratory at Columbia University in the city of New York. He studies novel 2D materials for a wide range of multidisciplinary efforts with collaborations across Physics, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Opto-electronics, Chemistry and even Biology.
Radu ColdeaDepartment of Physics, Oxford University
Dr. Coldea's research group explores experimentally quantum properties of novel electronic and magnetic materials using neutron scattering and thermodynamic probes. The aim is to understand how electrons organize themselves in complex materials to lead to new properties.
