Seminars with external speakers will be once or twice a month. On other weeks, seminars are held by the internal AMGC researchers, students, and guests.
For more information, contact Carina Gerritzen, Monica Alonso Eguiluz, or Yiqi Su.
Currently, some of the seminars are taking place via Teams, others are given "live" at the AMGC department. An email with the meeting link is sent out earlier in the week; if you wish to be added to the mailing list, please contact Carina Gerritzen, Monica Alonso Eguiluz, or Yiqi Su.
