Group Meetings
During the fall quarter, we will have regular group meetings on Wednesdays at 2:00pm in MS7629 (7629 is the Applied Math conference room; you can only enter it through 7619). The meetings typically last for about one hour. We will mix short presentations from within the group (research updates) with talks from outside speakers, and journal clubs.
