High Energy Physics Seminars (Theory)

The seminars are usually on Tuesdays at 3:30pm in room PHYS 242 (Physics Building) and held in conjuction with Astrophysics. So some dates are reserved for Astro. Seminars might be scheduled at different days to accomodate the speaker. The official Physics seminars page is here. Information for visitors can be found here or more generically at the Purdue page. The organizer is Alin Tirziu.

Information for Visitors

When visiting you will be most likely staying at the Union Club hotel which is located in the Purdue Memorial Union building.

The closest airport in Indianapolis, for international flights Chicago is usually more convenient. Midway airport at Chicago can also be useful.

Driving directions to the hotel can be found in their page or easily obtained from Google, from Indianapolis and Chicago. The hotel has parking, if you are not staying at the hotel we need to provide you with a parking permit when you arrive. The Physics Department is at walking distance from the Hotel, close to the corner of Northwestern Ave. and Stadium Ave. (see Google map or campus map, PHYS building). Check also the Physics Deparment visitors page.

For local information and more comprehensive travel information please see Purdue's visitors page.
