Colloquium Lightning Talks

We are excited to share our Lightning Talks for the colloquium this year. This format is designed to give our graduate students and post-docs an opportunity to present their research, allow us all to learn more about research going on in different areas of the department, and to facilitate cross-area collaborations.

Each speaker will have 10 minutes plus an additional 3-5 minutes for questions.
