TRI student seminar
Each week several research higher degree students and post-doctorate researchers will give a presentation on their research. These seminars will be held every Thursday, from 3:00pm-4:00pm. Due to current restrictions, this will be a Zoom webinar. To view this seminar on Thursday, see the link below. We're hoping the seminar will make a welcome return to the Level 7 Staff Lounge in the near future but for now please click the link below to hear about the exciting research happening right now in the building.
