Coordinators: Meera Sitharam, Heping Gao
Faculty Advisor: Meera Sitharam
Other Faculty:
Time and place: Every Friday 3:00pm to 4:00pm in CSE 404.
General goals:
1. Talks by faculty and students on research problems and special topics.
2. Discussion of research problems. Will provide an opportunity for students and/or faculty to collaborate on projects. There will be one main presenter who volunteers to describe problems related to their research during each meeting.
3. Discussion of Ph. D qualifiers exam problems including questions that have previously appeared on the exam. Questions from algorithms and theory will be discussed. There will be about 2 meetings and these will be scheduled close to the exam dates for the semester. Here are some strategies for working on qualifiers.
Note: If you are interested in participating in the activities of the seminar and wish to receive email about upcoming events please send me an email (hgao@cise.ufl.edu ) and I will add you to the mailing list.
Request to Speakers: Please (encourage and) allow plenty of time for questions and discussion.
