The Turbomachinery Lab Seminar Series offers a weekly, Tuesday afternoon session of technical presentations on topics covering the breadth of TL-related research each semester, commencing in Spring 2022.
The Seminar Series was created with the purpose to showcase ongoing and related TL research and will occasionally feature external presenters. They are intended to be an academic gathering of TL faculty, students, staff, and any other interested attendees. Seminars will consist of 2, 25-min presentations for students and postdocs, or one, 50-min presentation per seminar for faculty or external speakers. Light refreshments will be available at the end of each seminar. Topics will come from the breadth of research currently ongoing at TL and related areas.
TL is excited to make available the opportunity for students to present to an academic crowd; cross-fertilization of research topics and ideas within TL and related organizations; a gathering of researchers at all levels in a collegiate environment; and to learn some new things and meet new people with common interests; etc.
Time: Tuesdays at 4 P.M.
Location: Turbo Lab Classroom, TL room 163
Duration (Spring 2022): March 22 through April 26, 2022
