Dear Birck Nanotechnology Center Researcher- The Nanotechnology Student Advisory Council (NSAC) is hosting a Birck Nanotechnology Center Seminar Series. When: Thursdays at 10:30 am (Fall 2007) Where: Birck 1001 Format: Each seminar will last an hour with ~ 40-45 minutes for the presentation and the remainder for questions. We hope to have an even mixture of professors and graduate students presenting their research. Guidelines for the presentations are as follow: Professors (see memo of 11/27/06): * Overview of your research at a level geared towards recruiting new grad students or reporting to a funding agency * Presentations will be videotaped and posted to the BNC website in Breeze format Graduate students: * Feel free to present on your research or on a "journal club" article * These seminars are a great opportunity to practice your prelim or thesis defense before presenting to your committee * If you are giving a talk at an upcoming conference, practice here first. If your talk is short (15-20 minutes), pair up with another grad and you both can present one Thursday. If you are interested in presenting a seminar, please contact Annie Cheever (acheever@ecn.purdue.edu). If you have further questions, please contact Annie or Kalapi Biswas (kgbiswas@purdue.edu, NSAC research awareness chair). Thank you. Kalapi Biswas & Tim Sands
