CMP Seminar

The Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) Seminar is hosted by the CMP research group in the WVU Department of Physics and Astronomy on most Tuesdays from 1:30 PM to 2:20 PM in White Hall, Room G06.


Each week, the group meets with a featured guest for open floor discussions, lectures, progress reports, and more. People from all departments are welcome to attend! All talks are subject to change. If you have any questions about the CMP Seminar, please contact Prof. Alan Bristow or Christopher Jacobs.
