Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Chemistry and Physics of Liquids is a unique forum for graduate students, postdocs, and other young scientists with comparable levels of experience to share their frontier research.

This meeting will explore the unique properties of liquids emerging from their interactions at molecular level. Specifically, the meeting will be focused on characterizing the structure and dynamics in a liquid phase to understand the complex nature of liquids. An interdisciplinary selection of speakers will discuss a variety of topics, including but not limited to ionic liquids, glasses, liquids at interfaces, self-assembly, solvation, and driven liquids. Any contribution from either theory, simulation, or experiment is encouraged for the presentation. Four participants will be selected from the poster and oral sessions to give short talks in the ensuing 2019 Liquids GRC. An additional mentorship component will include a panel of professional scientists that will lead a discussion on careers in academia, national laboratories, industry, and international institutions.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Chemistry and Physics of Liquids" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
