California Institute of TechnologyOctober 23, 2012
Please join the Caltech community in celebrating the life and career of Professor Aron Kuppermann (1926-2011). The symposium will include a day of research talks and personal reflections, followed by a poster session and evening meal. The speaker program includes Aron's friends, colleagues, and former group members. In addition to warmly remembering Aron, we will enjoy an exciting overview of modern directions in physical and theoretical chemistry.
