INFORMATION:

This semester we will alternate between talks and group meetings.

Talks: There will be either one or two speakers as per the schedule above. Faculty presentations will be 50 minutes long including questions. Other presentations will be 20 minutes long followed by 5 minutes for questions. Presentations will report on the current state of your research.

Group Meetings: All graduate students who are actively pursuing research in this group are required to send me one PowerPoint slide containing talking points about their most current work. Please send me the slide by 1:00 P.M. on the day of each scheduled Group Meeting. At the Group Meeting,  please take no more than five minutes to describe your current research. That should leave us time for general discussion.
