| The
Frank and Robert Laughlin Chair of Physical Chemistry is intended
to rejuvenate experimental phase science, an important subdiscipline
of the field of physical chemistry, and to continue the pioneering
spirit that has been a tradition at Cornell for 100 years. Until
a suitable candidate is found, Dr. Laughlin has graciously agreed
to allow some of the funds to be used to support a visiting professorship
in this field. This series was inaugurated
in 2000 by Professor Reinhard Strey from the University
of Cologne, followed by Henk Lekkerkerker from the University of Utrecht, Heinz Hoffmann from the University of Bayreuth, Frank Bates from the University of Minnesota, David Chandler from the University of California at Berkeley, William Gelbart from the University of California at Los Angeles, and Daan Frenkel from the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics in The Netherlands.
Our lecturer for the 2007-08 academic year will be Jacob Klein from Oxford University. He will give his lectures on February 18 and 19, 2008.
