Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Oscillations and Dynamic Instabilities in Chemical Systems is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The meeting is focused on chemical systems that exhibit spatial pattern formation and temporal synchronization and it includes transdisciplinary work with nonlinear physical and biological emergent phenomena.

The interdisciplinary nature of this meeting both fosters exchange between experimentalists from different disciplines and brings together theoretical and applied researchers to drive innovation.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Oscillations and Dynamic Instabilities in Chemical Systems" 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.
