Suggestion for Speakers
Please email Paul Goddard or Martin Lees with any suggestions for seminar speakers.
Attendance at CMP seminars
Attendance at the Condensed Matter Physics seminars is compulsory for all PhD students throughout their degrees.
CMP Seminar - Graduate Credit
First year PhD students can attend the CMP seminar series for one graduate credit if they study one seminar per term in more detail. For your selected seminars, students should read either two short papers or one review article related to the topic of the presentation. You should then prepare a short summary, which should certainly be no more than one page, for each of your selected seminars that briefly describes what you learned from the seminar, your background reading, and any relevance to your project. (It is absolutely fine if there is no crossover with your project).
Summary submission
Your 3 summaries should be submitted as a single document for approval to Prof. Paul GoddardLink opens in a new window by email at the end of Term 3. Confirmation that the task is complete, and any feedback, will be given within 4 weeks. Students can then self-certify as having completed the CMP seminars for 1 credit via this linkLink opens in a new window.
