Close
The Astrophysics Group usually has a seminar on Thursday afternoon. The first Thursday of each month is reserved for the Astrophysics Group Meeting and one internal seminar is held each month.
The time allocated to speakers for their presentations is about 30-50 minutes with a short 3 min break in the middle and followed by questions. Seminars begin at 2.30pm unless stated otherwise. We are very happy that we are having in-person seminars again. Occasionally, we will have a virtual seminar to hear a talk from a non-UK based speaker.
Paul Lai, Kaye Li and Paul Kuin are the seminar organisers. If you have any coments or would like to give a seminar please contact Paul Lai, Kaye, or Paul Kuin.
