A sleepless seminar in Seattle

Next tuesday I am visiting the Chemistry Department at University of Washington. I am giving a seminar on "Charge distribution near oxygen vacancies in cerium oxides". It is based on Elvis Shoko's Ph.D thesis work, also done with Michael Smith. A nice summary is in a review article we just published. I will post a copy of the talk when it is ready, but it will be similar to a seminar that Elvis gave at the oral defense of his thesis.

At UW I am looking forward to meeting Charlie Campbell and Xiaosong Li. Unfortunately, Oleg Prezhdo will not be there because he is moving to Rochester.
