10th New York Complex Matter Workshop

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
DEADLINE: June 11, 2010


KEYNOTE SPEAKER: David Nelson (Harvard), Life at High Reynolds Number

Parking Directions

Location: 701 Clark Hall, Cornell University (click on directions to find out how to get to Cornell from anywhere in New York; click on maps to locate Clark Hall.)

Time: 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM followed by informal discussion and dinner (also to be organized informally)

Organizers: Mark Bowick and Cristina Marchetti (Syracuse), Itai Cohen and Abe Stroock (Cornell) and George Thurston (RIT).

Registration: Please send an email to TBA to register by by Friday, June 11, 2010. Please include a title and abstract for your "sound bite" - a three minute update of your current research. The title and abstract should be in text form in the body of your e-mail. There will be a $15/person charge to cover coffee and lunch (to be paid by cash/check on the day of the meeting).

Goal: At this workshop we will have five talks from researchers in the New York area as well as one additional keynote speaker. The rest of the time will be taken up by short (3 min.) presentations. These presentations should give the audience a flavor for the research topic and techniques used to address the research problem discussed. The overall goal is to give the audience an overview of the type of research techniques being used and problems being studied in the New York area. The rest of the time will be unstructured and available for people to discuss possible collaborations or other research interests. As such we hope and expect that students will attend regardless of whether their faculty advisors can attend.
