High Pressure, Research at
Gordon Research Seminar
June 23-24, 2012
University of New England
Biddeford, ME
Chair:
Ashkan Salamat

Associate Chair:
Rachael T. Hazael
Related Meeting Information
The High Pressure, Research at Gordon Research Seminar was held in conjunction with the High Pressure, Research at Gordon Research Conference. Please refer to the High Pressure, Research at GRC web page for more information.

The Gordon Research Seminar on Research at High Pressure is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. This is the first meeting of its kind for the high pressure community and apart from its independent goals, it is also to provide a suitable platform for junior participants from which to lead into the main GRC.

The focus of this meeting is the continued development of high pressure research encompassing traditional research topics such as condensed matter physics and earth sciences but also developments in overlapping research fields covering high pressure biochemistry, chemistry and plasma physics. We are selecting the best representatives of the leading young scientists in high pressure research to chair their relevant session and facilitate scientific discussion. We invite and encourage early career scientists to submit oral or poster abstracts for the opportunity to present their research to their peers within the international high pressure community.
