Korea institute for advanced study: seminar & journal club arxiv

This journal club takes place on weekly basis to follow up recent breakthrough in condensed matter physics. Participants are mostly people in KIAS. We are also very interested in having external speakers on grad and postdoc level. Please contact kkim@kias.re.kr if you would like to be our speaker. webmaster: Kun Woo Kim
