About the Meeting
The West Coast Theoretical Chemistry Meeting at UC Davis aims to bring together graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty, and industry scientists for a 1-day meeting to discuss and present their research across all areas of theoretical chemistry in the form of talks and posters. This is the third meeting of an annual series of meetings that has previously taken place at Stanford University and UC Berkeley. This meeting was originally scheduled for May 2, 2020 but was postponed due to COVID-19.
