Mini-workshop on Frontier in Condensed Matter Physics


Date:January 17, 2013 (Thu)
Time:2:30-6:00 p.m
Venue:Room 522, Chong Yuet Ming Physics Building, HKU

The mini-workshop will start with a seminar given by Prof. Patrick Lee from MIT, and followed by four short presentations of the researches supported by the HK’s RGC Collaborative Research Fund HKUST3/09. The topics will include topology in condensed matter physics, cold atoms and graphene.
