Department of Physics and Astronomy Events General Colloquium Physics after the lab and the desk: Your work in PRL [https://media.science.purdue.edu/uploads/physics_calendar/bf21cdcb3958e44a61...] When Thursday, March 2nd 2017, 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm Where PHYS 203 Speaker Samindranth Mitra Physical Review Letters Editor for the American Physical Society Visit Website<https://journals.aps.org/prl/staff> ________________________________ Host: Leonid Rokhinson Refreshments served at 3:00pm in PHYS 242. Abstract: Physics research takes place mostly at your desk, at the keyboard, in the lab. You communicate results through posters, talks, and papers -- leading to, hopefully, wide dissemination and recognition. The sequence entails interacting with journal editors, referees, conference chairs, journalists, and so on. I will focus on this post-research collaborative process in physics, primarily through the lens that is Physical Review Letters. Bio: Samindranath (Sami) grew up in Kolkata and Delhi, and received his Ph.D. at Indiana University (Bloomington) in 1994 on theoretical aspects of the quantum Hall effect. After working on chemical physics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, he joined Physical Review Letters. Among his other responsibilities are papers on transport properties in semiconductors, 2D materials, and mesoscopic systems.
