This summer, Harvard-Radcliffe Society of Physics Students (SPS) & MIT SPS have joined forces to organize the weekly Chilloquium speaker series. Initiated in the summer of 2020, Chilloquium offer an opportunity for everyone passionate about physics to come together each week to learn about cutting-edge research in a variety of exciting fields and interact with remarkable and inspiring physicists in an informal and accessible setting. You can find previous Chilloquium talks on Harvard-Radcliffe SPS Youtube Channel here.

Re-Introducing Chilloquium
What: We created Chilloquium as a moderated conversation between our students and experienced career physicists, mostly from institutions other than Harvard & MIT. We've given the speakers lots of flexibility to provide the best experience they can offer. On average, though, the weekly hour-long Zoom meeting will consist of a brief introduction on research and life trajectory by the speaker(s), followed by a longer "Ask-Me-Anything" open forum.
Who: We scoured the globe—and gathered lots of faculty input—to curate a lineup of speakers who are actively doing big things in a variety of fields in physics. For August 2023, we've invited Patty Lee, who brings quantum imagination into reality, Naoto Shiraishi, who explores the statistical mechanics of non-equilibrium systems via theoretical and fundamental approaches, Dam Thanh Son, who builds a bridge connecting high energy theory to condensed matter theory, and Andrea Cavalleri, who utilizes light to spark the exotic phases of matter.
When: Every Monday (except July 3, 2023). Speakers:
- Aug 28, @12PM: Andrea Cavalleri
- Aug 21 @4:30PM: Dam Thanh Son
- Aug 14 @9:00PM: Naoto Shiraishi
- Aug 7 @4:30PM: Patty Lee
- July 31 @4:30PM: Francis Halzen
- July 17 @4:30PM: Eun-ah Kim
- July 10 @4:30PM: Anjali Tripathi
- June 26 @4:30PM: Juan Maldacena
- June 19 @12PM: Tilman Esslinger
- June 12 @4:30: Margaret Gardel
