Division of Colloid and surface Chemistry R. Nagarajan, Program Chair


We are organizing a symposium in honor of Dr. Jay Rasaiah, at the fall ACS
(San Francisco, August 10-14, 2014)
to celebrate Jay's seminal contributions to many fields in liquid state theory;
e. g.~from ionic and polar liquids, ionic solutions, to supercritical and confined fluids,
nanotubes, electron and proton transfer.
We would like to invite you to join us in this celebration!
