Moore Foundation EPiQS Postdoctoral Seminar Series
Fall 2023–Spring 2024
About
Welcome to an exciting virtual extension of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation's Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Systems (EPiQS) Postdoctoral Symposia! This virtual monthly seminar series features postdoctoral scholars and senior graduate students belonging to the EPiQS network. The goal is to allow young scientists working in theory and experiment to share their work with a cross-disciplinary audience and catalyze conversations and collaborations across the community.
Schedule
Seminars will be held monthly over Zoom on Wednesdays from 2:00–3:00 pm ET/11:00 am–12:00 pm PT.
Zoom links will be sent out over email to participants in the 2023 EPiQS Postdoctoral Symposium and anyone registered by filling out the Register Form. Talks will be made available on YouTube after the seminar.
