Grafiz Seminar
This weekly seminar is meant to be an opportunity to discuss and brainstorm about research topics relating to the overall area of computer graphics and scientific visualization so as to foster cross pollination and interdisciplinary collaborations. It is also meant to be an opportunity to present and get feedback on academic work, including students' proposals and theses defenses as well as publications and research in progress.
The seminar is typically held every Thursday in room E 09 at the chair, starting at 3:00 pm up until 5:00 pm. All students affiliated with the chair or sharing interests in that area are invited to attend the seminar and encouraged to give talks as they see fit. Please contact Vincent Pegoraro regarding the scheduling of the latter and updates of associated information so the events can be announced in a timely manner.
