Schedule

Research group meetings take place at 4-5pm on Wednesdays (sometimes, we will also have meetings on Thursday, please see schedule below!). Meetings are very informal and include discussions about current research topics or invited speakers. They can be used to talk about a current research issue, a new result, an idea for a grant proposal, a published paper; anything that relates to the group’s research interests. When there is no specific topic or theme arranged for a session, members meet for a more general discussion and catch-up on what we have been doing recently.
