I2PC Distinguished Speaker Series
The Distinguished Speaker weekly seminar series features the latest I2PC research developments. Speakers include I2PC research faculty, industry research affiliates, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate research assistants.
The seminars held on Thursdays from 4-5 pm in the Siebel Center. Unless otherwise noted, seminars will be held in Room 2405. Speakers, dates, and locations will be added as the year progresses, so check back for updates!
Note: Some talks are I2PC-internal, meaning only people who have signed the Informed Participation Agreement can attend.
A detailed schedule with abstract and speaker bios is available.
Webcast
For those unable to physically attend the talk, a live webcast is available. Additionally, a chat interface has been set up for those who want to ask the speaker questions during the talk.
In the event that a talk is I2PC-internal, a single-use webcast address will be emailed to I2PC members prior to the talk.
Upcoming Seminars
Unless otherwise noted, seminars will be held on Thursdays, from 4-5pm, in room 2405 Siebel Center.
