Welcome to the CHESS Seminar Series, a biweekly series of talks focused on synchrotron science and related topics. This series is intended as a venue for communication of cutting-edge research taking place in and around the synchrotron - including both research actively leveraging CHESS and related facilities, and research that could benefit from x-ray measurements or collaboration.
Unless otherwise noted, talks will be at 3PM in Wilson 301.
