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.
Seminars listed as To Be Announced (TBA) will be updated as their title and abstracts become available.
