The Student Seminar Series is a student-operated platform where graduate students can present their research to their peers and practice their presentation skills and faculty have an opportunity to present their research to a student audience. The organizers, Minzee Kim (mz2kim@uwaterloo.ca) and Xiyue Han (xiyue.han@uwaterloo.ca), welcome inquiries from any interested students and faculty.
For any inquires, please email the organizers.
