Materials Working Group, Fall 2017
Organized by Bob Kohn

"Materials Working Group" talks are mainly by people at Courant
(students, postdocs, visitors and faculty), discussing their
recent or current work. The talks are informal, with 
plenty of discussion. A record of last spring's talks 
is here. 

Our timeslot in Fall 2017 is Monday at 11 in WWH 1314 (but not every week). 
 
An email list for relevant announcements is
maintained by Bob Kohn (kohn at cims dot nyu dot edu).
