These seminars provide a platform for sharing innovative research, fostering collaboration and enriching the academic experience for students and faculty alike.
The Stivala Lectures in Chemistry
A highlight of the seminar series, the Stivala Lectures in Chemistry invites an outstanding scientist for a day of lectures and discussions on timely topics in chemistry. This distinguished lecture series was established by Dr. James Cooper in memory of his father, Charles Cooper, a close friend of Professor Salvatore Stivala, a longtime professor of chemistry and chemical engineering at Stevens.
