New York Complex Matter Workshop

At these workshops we bring together talks from researchers in the New York area as well as an additional keynote speaker. The rest of the time will be taken up by short (2 min.) presentations. These presentations 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.

Previous key note speakers include:Uli Wisener, L. Mahadevan, Sid Nagel, Watt Web, Tom Whitten, and Seth Fraden
