IMA Postdoc Seminar 2009-2010

The IMA Postdoc Seminar meets at 11:15-12:15 every Tuesday during the semester in Lind 305, except during IMA workshop weeks. This seminar provides opportunities for postdocs to give talks not necessarily related to the thematic program, and for invited IMA visitors (or U of MN faculty) to give talks on subjects of interest to the IMA postdocs. This year the postdoc seminar is organized by Weigang Zhong (zhong@ima.umn.edu) and Yunkyong Hyon (hyon@ima.umn.edu).
