3rd annual Graduate Simulation Seminar Series starts July 6

The third annual Graduate Student Seminar Series (GS^3), coordinated by students in Chemical Engineering and sponsored by the Center of MASS, will run this summer from July 6 until September 21. Seminars will be Wednesdays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in Harold Frank Hall, Room 1132/1152 (talks from 3-4 p.m. and mingling from 4-4:30 p.m.).

This year, ​the group ​is incorporating past survey responses to bring you a bigger and better GS^3. ​They want to emphasize that talks are meant to be overall application-oriented and transcribed for an undergraduate audience (in the spirit of Richard Feynman). This year, ​they hope to feature ​their regular graduate student/postdo/faculty/advanced undergraduate sessions (two talks for approximately 25 minutes each), as well as multiple Ex Silico joint computational-experimental sessions (pre-assembled pairs or groups of computationalists and experimentalists with a unifying scientific theme and linked rapid-fire talks about 5 minutes each, 10-15 minutes total). From Mechanical Engineering to Marine Biology to Statistics to Geography, all are welcome!

This year, GS^3 will also award prizes to the top regular and Ex Silico session presenters. The caveat to this, but also the potential benefit, is that the GS^3 committee will be curating talks beforehand. You bring the talks, fill the seats, and rate the presenters; GS^3 will bring the refreshments.

Interested in giving a talk (individual or group) for this year's GS^3? Email the group as soon as possible with the following:

• Name
• Contact information
• Status (e.g. graduate student)
• Research group
• Department
• Brief research description (1-3 sentences)
• Preferred dates for presentation (at least 2 different day choices; Wednesdays, 3-4 p.m. ​between July 6 to September 21; ​they'll do their absolute best to accommodate)
