Graduate Research Seminar 2023/2024

Join us every Friday for graduate research discussions! Graduate students showcase their exciting research at our departmental seminars, followed by an interactive Q&A session. Graduate students learn from peers’ presentations and Q&A sessions, gaining perspectives that can inform and refine your own research.
