THB-G011 Library Seminar Room, Hardiman Research Building

On Tuesday 12 April, the NUI Galway SIAM Student Chapter will host a session of blitz talks for undergraduate students interested in pursuing postgraduate research in applied mathematics. Lecturers and researchers from the School of Mathematics and cognate disciplines will present short talks describing their research interests, and life as a researcher in general. The talks will be followed by an informal social event at which lecturers and PhD students will be available for discussions on what daily life as a researcher entails, and also to advise on funding opportunities and other issues.

All are welcome!
