Weekly Colloquium Meetings

Throughout the academic year, distinguished speakers travel to UCLA to share their latest research. The department sponsors and organizes these events to encourage collaboration within the field. This exposure is critical for our graduate students in particular. The content shared in these events broadens their academic horizons. Additionally, the colloquium provides opportunities for our students to network with other specialists and peers.

Snacks and drinks are provided 30 minutes before the colloquium! This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow undergraduate students, graduate students, and professors!

Physics & Astronomy Colloquium

Thursdays 4-5 P.M. in PAB 1-434

Astrophysics Colloquium

Wednesdays 3:30-4:30 P.M. in PAB 1-434
