ABSTRACT:

Postgraduate students often face multiple challenges when they start to do
research. To help them better prepare for their research career, we
organize this panel and invite faculties from different research fields to
share their experience in conducting research and working with students.
Each panelist will first give a short talk and after that we will have
panel discussions, followed by Q&A.

(This seminar is cross-listed under the course series COMP 6770:
Professional Development in Computer Science and Engineering).
