The “290” seminars are graduate level courses that feature a weekly seminar on physics topics. Some 290 Seminars are closed to students only, but many are open to the public and welcome you to attend.
290A Nanoscale Research Developments Seminar
- Open to the public but particularly aimed at the UC Berkeley scientific community
- Recent developments in nano-related lab work
- Nanoscale Research Developments Seminar Events Calendar
- For more information contact Avi Rosenzweig
290B Space Sciences Seminar
- Open to the UC Berkeley and LBNL scientific communities
- Recent developments, with informal discussion, on topics in space science, space plasmas physics, space-based planetary science and astrophysics
- For more information contact Stuart Bale or Chadi Salem
290E High Energy/Nuclear Physics Seminar Series
- Open to the Berkeley and LBNL scientific communities
- Introductory talks on High Energy Physics/Nuclear Physics from senior physicists in the first few weeks of the semester, followed by graduate student presentations in the following weeks.
- High Energy/Nuclear Physics Seminar Schedule
- For more information, contact: Marjorie Shapiro and Barbara Jacak
290F Atomic, Molecular and Optical Science and Quantum Information (AMO/QI) Seminar Series
- Open to students and the research community
- Seminars occur roughly weekly throughout the academic terms. These seminars feature advances in AMO/QI research worldwide. Some weeks are also set aside for the AMO Qual Club, a graduate-student focused event meant to enrich academic training and prepare students for their qualifying examination. Some other weeks feature Dissertation Celebrations, presented by a graduate student in the AMO/QI group upon completion of their PhD
