The 2010 Annual Research Review is sponsored by:
Event
Friday, February 12, 2010, Electrical Engineering IV.
The event is a forum in which graduate students present their latest research results and answer questions from industrial and government attendees. Participants will gain an update on recent and ground-breaking research and interact with faculty members from the department. In addition, graduate students present interactive poster sessions during the event.
