Event

The 2009 UCLA Electrical Engineering Annual Research Review is scheduled for Friday, April 24, 2009. The event is a forum in which graduate students and their faculty advisors present their latest research results and answer questions from industrial and government sponsors. Attending guests gain an update on recent and ground-breaking research and interact with faculty members from the department.

The one-day event is held in the Engineering IV Building, home to the department. It starts with an open session to introduce the department, the seven key application areas highlighted this year, and several research centers. The event continues with parallel tracks for oral presentations by faculty and graduate students. In addition, graduate students present interactive poster sessions during the event.
