Seminars and Lectures

The LBRC sponsors following lectures and seminars during the Spring and Fall semesters each year:

Modern Optics and Spectroscopy Seminar

This series of weekly talks, known as the MOS Seminars, hosts a broad spectrum of researchers to share their latest work in optics and spectroscopy. The MOS Seminar is co-sponsored by the Laser Biomedical Research Center, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the School of Science, MIT.

Richard C. Lord Lecture

The Lord Lecture, held annually during the Spring semester since 1992, honors a scientist who has made important contributions to the field of spectroscopy. The scientist is invited to deliver a public lecture at MIT as the highlight session of the Spring MOS seminar series. Lecturers are selected by a committee of chemists, physicists and engineers at MIT who are active in various fields of spectroscopy. The lecture series commemorates the achievements of Dr. Richard C. Lord, a pioneer in infrared and biochemical spectroscopy and Director of the Spectroscopy Laboratory for 30 years.
