ACEMS POSTDOC AND RESEARCH ASSOCIATE WORKSHOP

20-23rd MARCH 2017, UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND

WORKSHOP PROGRAM

Oral Presentations: All participants are expected to give an oral presentation about their research. This should be no more than 10 minutes long and can optionally include slides. The presentation should include an introduction to you, (the presenter), an overview of your research topic, some technical details about your work (remembering you will be speaking to an engaged, mathematically literate but quite diverse audience), and an open problem that you are still aiming to solve. (Perhaps someone might like to join you in trying to solve it!)
