CPBF Symposia at CUNY

In addition to the seminar series, CPBF holds 2-3 symposia events each semester at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. These symposia are all-day events and coordinated with the Initiative for the Theoretical Sciences at CUNY. Participation is lively and interactive, with the audience drawn largely from researchers, postdocs, graduate students and faculty based at various institutions in New York City and the Tri-State area. 

Curated by members of the symposia committee, the symposia series highlights major research activities of the Center: guest speakers are invited to give a foundational overview, to engage those in the audience less familiar with the topic, before sharing their expertise in the frontier of research. 

Current committee members are:

  • Zoe Aridor
  • Sujit Datta
  • Luca Di Carlo
  • Shana Elbaum-Garfinkle
  • Trevor Grand Pre
  • Thomas Gregor
  • Kamesh Krishnamurthy
  • Junang Li
  • Francesca Mignacco
  • Rahul Munshi
  • Matthew Rosenberg
  • David Schwab
  • Ned Wingreen
