Spring 2015 seminars

during the spring of 2015 we had a lucky sequence of three seminars given by young colleagues who - in the recent past - have worked in our group, and are now exploring new interesting paths in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics; following the above link you can retrieve the titles, abstracts and slides of the three seminars.
