Student Research Extravaganza

Date: Tuesday, March 23
Time: 18:30
Location: Foyer, George Fox Building

Download: Presentation by Mehmet Aksit

Goals

  • Provide a venue for students to vet research ideas and directions with experts in the field.
  • Expose students to possible research directions.
  • Allow students to intermingle and get to know each other.

Format

  • Formal Portion: After a brief introduction from the organizers, two experts in the field, Mehmet Aksit and Hidehiko Masuhara, will speak for ten minutes about where they see the field heading and interesting problems likely to be encountered along the way. We will also introduce the other experts in attendance.
  • Informal Portion: Students will be invited to present their posters to experts roving around the room. The experts will provide commentary and advice on the work. Students will also have the opportunity to mingle and talk to each other. Students should put up posters prior to the start of the event. Refreshments will be available.

Attendees

The event is only open to students and participating experts to ensure that the students have ample opportunities to discuss their work with these experts.
