BSAC Seminar Series

BSAC Seminar Schedule - Spring 2025

BSAC’s spring seminar series will include a mix of external speakers from industry and academia as well as research briefs presented by BSAC researchers, a group discussion, and lunch. The goal of each 35-minute student research brief is to create an opportunity for our researchers to discuss projects and network across groups.
