Molecular Spectroscopy Group Online Seminar Series
We are running a series of online seminars, with national and international speakers selected from both established researchers to early-career scientists. In 2024, we will be moving to a bimonthly cycle for the seminars.
Each seminar is 1 hour long and features presentations from two speakers, followed by questions. With such a wide range of molecular spectroscopies around, each meeting will have a theme so that the two presenters are talking on similar topics. The full list of seminars is listed below, along with themes and speakers where they are known. This list will be updated so keep checking back for the latest information.
We look forward to seeing you there!
If you have an idea for a theme for a future seminar that you would like to see, are interested in presenting at one of our future seminars, or just have some feedback on this series, please contact us at: molecularspectroscopygroup@gmail.com
Next Seminar
For our next seminar, on Thursday 21st March 2024, 14:30 - 15:30 BST, we will have a seminar with a theme of Neutron Scattering.
Dr Jeff Armstrong
(ISIS Neutron and Muon Source)
"Where Neutron Spectroscopy and Simulation meet"
Professor Jayne Lawrence
(University of Manchester)
"Use of Neutron Scattering in the Development of Medicines"
