Abstract: 

Water is a rather important liquid to most of us. All of biology and most of chemistry involves interfaces with water, and yet aqueous interfaces continue to present a challenge to understand theoretically. I will introduce the structure of liquid water, and will present a new method using classical density functional theory for treating aqueous interfaces.

Refreshments will be served half an hour before the start of the colloquium in Weniger 305.
