Spring 2009
Selected leading experts and research members from different backgrounds will be invited as speakers in this seminar series. Students and faculty members can refresh their keen interests on state-of-the-art research and development efforts taking place throughout the world. This should be a forum for open discussions among faculty members and students on current research topics with diverse interests.
We will have the seminar series scheduled as regularly as possible. Currently, it is to be held at noon on Wednesdays starting from the second week of the term. E-mail announcements, as well as updates on this web-page, will be made accordingly.
Graduate students are strongly recommended to attend. Any seminar talk would not be a success without students’ attendance.
