Resnick Institute Seminar Series

The Resnick Institute seminar series is a forum for researchers to share new scientific research and innovations in sustainable energy. Seminars are typically held on the third Thursday of the month during the academic year in 101 Guggenheim Lab -the Lees-Kubota Lecture Hall, unless otherwise indicated. Refreshments are provided in the lobby fifteen minutes before the event. No food or drink is allowed in the lecture hall.
