The ECoMMFiT Seminar series are held every two weeks to discuss the broad spectrum of research in fluids carried out inside and outside the group. It is a great opportunity for our community (students, postdocs and faculty members) and for visitors to gather and share research thoughts in an informal context. Unless indicated otherwise the seminars take place on Fridays from 10:00 am to 11:00 am in Lab. Room 111 of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
If you are willing to participate, we would be glad to have you giving a seminar and meeting our community. Please feel free to contact us by email(ELIMINAR).
NOTE: Seminar announcement is done via email. If you would like to be added to our distribution list then please send a request to Lluís Vàzquez(ELIMINAR).
These are the seminars programmed/held in recent years. Some of them were recordered and can be viewed by clicking over the corresponding link.
