Plasma Physics Seminar (Phys 769)

The Plasma Physics Seminar is held on Wednesday afternoons at 4:00 in the Energy Research Facility (Building 223) in room 1207. Theoreticians and experimentalists from the University of Maryland and other institutions in the area will present topics of interest to the plasma physics community. The focus will be on presenting material at a level that is largely accessible to graduate students who are beginning their research in plasma physics. A number of tutorial talks will be given throughout the year, which will present broader topics with an emphasis on developing key concepts from a pedagogical perspective. Please direct any recommendations for potential speakers to Marc Swisdak (swisdakREMOVETHIS@umd.THISTOO.edu).
