NCGC Lecture Series

The NCGC Distinguished Lecturer Series was developed to offer outstanding speakers to colleges, universities, societies and industry. The lecturers are tasked with representing the vision and accomplishments of the Center to a broader audience as well as conveying the key scientific advances to technical audiences.

Our lecturers are available for a limited number of speaking engagements in the United States only. Abstracts contain an outline of the lecture subject as well as speaker biographical information. As speaking engagements are schedule, they will be posted below.

To arrange a lecture, please complete and submit the Request for Speakers Form. The NGC staff will work directly with the host institution to schedule Distinguished Lecturers.
