Center for Nonlinear Studies

The CNLS Colloquium series is in progress and we are scheduling speakers for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, we are now conducting the lectures using webex. We host speakers who are outstanding scientists with a broad vision of their field and capable of delivering a comprehensive lecture addressing an audience with multi-disciplinary scientific interests; both experimentalists and theoreticians. Selected speakers should dedicate some amount of their time meeting with CNLS postdocs and affiliated staff scientists. The research interests of the nominee will cover, but will not be limited to, the fields of particular CNLS activity such as statistical physics and complex systems, fluid dynamics, optics and spectroscopy, condensed matter, chemical physics, biological physics, and applied mathematics.

If you have a nomination for a speaker, please contact us via email at cnls_colloq@lanl.gov.

Guidelines for CNLS Colloquium
The CNLS Colloquium series is designed to engage a diverse set of student, postdoctoral and staff scientists with quite different backgrounds including physics, chemistry, biology, applied mathematics, and information theory. This audience is broader than what one would expect for a departmental colloquium at a university. Speakers are expected to communicate the importance of their work and its basic foundations in a language accessible at a general advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student level. Speakers should not assume that because CNLS has historically been interested in a particular topic, e.g., fluid dynamics, solitons or nonlinear dynamics, that the audience will be experts in that topic - CNLS research areas are continually changing and CNLS postdocs come from very different backgrounds. These guidelines do not preclude a more technical core to the talk for the more knowledgeable members of the audience, but a clear 10-15 minute introduction and a 5 minute summary of the main results of the research should be included as part of the colloquium. All colloquia are held on Mondays at 3:00-4:00pm.

An archive of previously held colloquia can be found here.
