Analytical Zoom Invitational Seminar Consortium
Who We Are: The Analytical Zoom Invitational Seminar Consortium (AZisc) is a group of graduate analytical chemistry programs whose faculty have agreed to be included on a list of those willing to give seminars by Zoom to other programs on their research. Academic year 2020-20221 is the pilot year for this program involving 14 analytical chemistry graduate programs. AZisc is intended to provide a mechanism to promote close cooperation among analytical chemistry graduate programs in enhancing the breadth and depth of research in modern chemical analysis to which our graduate student populations are exposed. This program is not intended to replace in-person seminars but to supplement such programs in a cost- and time-effective manner.
How It Works: The faculty listed below (with seminar titles) have agreed to be receptive to invitations to present their research by Zoom from any of the other consortium programs sometime during the 2020-2021 academic year. Individual programs should feel free to invite as few or as many individuals from this list and to negotiate the details of seminar dates and expectations with the invited faculty members. Faculty members on this list are free to accept as many or as few invitations as they wish and to negotiate the terms of these presentations with their virtual hosts.
For future years, participating programs will be polled in May/June of each year to establish the list of their faculty members who wish to participate for the upcoming academic year, and this web page will be updated with that information. Faculty are free to decide in which years they wish to participate in this program. If deemed successful by a majority of the programs involved in the pilot, AZisc will be continually expanded to add new participating analytical chemistry programs. .
