Part of Research Week, the 3-Minute Thesis final featured 12 graduate students presenting years of research within 180 seconds, with one slide and no props.
The School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (SGSPA) recently hosted Research Week, an annual celebration highlighting the impact and ingenuity of the research being done by the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
This year카지노 게임 컬렉션s Research Week included a series of events, including the final of the 3-Minute Thesis, United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Research Day, and the 3-Minute Research competition for postdoctoral fellows.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Research Week is an occasion for Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to celebrate and showcase the remarkable accomplishments of our graduate student and postdoctoral researchers,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Fahim Quadir, Vice-Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The week-long event provides a wonderful opportunity for our emerging researchers to come together, across multiple disciplines, and highlight cutting edge research, while simultaneously fostering an environment that encourages collaborative, interdisciplinary, and innovative thinking.카지노 게임 컬렉션
