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 are led by a different member of the group each week. 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.
