Professor Michel L. Lapidus coordinates a weekly meeting between him and his PhD students and mentees. It is during The Fractal and Mathematical Physics Research Group meetings that he talks informally with his students and keeps informed of each student's progress. It is also here that his students have the opportunity to present their research and discuss more specialized topics not fitting with the spirit of the more formal Seminar on Mathematical Physics and Dynamical Systems. Visitors are welcome!

The Seminar on Mathematical Physics and Dynamical Systems (MPDS, Math 260) is a seminar led by Dr. Lapidus that meets every quarter, once a week. It is here that students and guest speakers may present their research on topics ranging from the Feynman Integral to Fourier Analysis to Fractal Billiards. Such an environment allows for the dissemination of new ideas for interested and motivated students, visitors and researching faculty, while at the same time exposing students to more specialized topics and allowing for necessary professional development.
*This will be a colloquium, joint with the MPDS Seminar; hence, it will be lasting from 4:10pm to 5:00pm, with refreshments and tea/coffee starting at about 3:40pm.
In the Spring of 2012, Dr. Lapidus will be on sabbatical leave at the Institute Des Hautes Scientifiques (IHES) in Bures-sur-Yvette and the Insitut Henri Poincaré (IHP) in Paris, France.
Every quarter, Dr. Lapidus holds a seminar in Mathematical Physics and Dynamical Systems. In the past, this seminar has been offered every Thursday at 3:40-4:30 PM. Also, Dr. Lapidus meets weekly with his students and mentees in the Fractal Research Group. The FRG seminar is held on Thursday at 11:10-12:30, and anyone interested in Fractal Geometry and its applications are invited to attend, as this is a more informal setting designed to foster discussion.
