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 seminar and invite faculties from different research fields 
to share their experience in conducting research and working with students.

Prof. Qiang YANG will first give a 30 minutes talk, followed by panel
discussion and Q & A.

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