Dr. Joao Soares provided a short workshop on how to write and submit scientific papers. This event was held on Thursday, January 21 from 10:00-10:30am at GSB 553.
A copy of his presentation is available below for your reference.
A MATLAB Workshop was organized for beginners which was for 3 hours (1 P.M. to 4 P.M.) for graduate students.
This event was free of cost and we had a total 30 applicants who registered for the event. Students who attended this workshop had a hands-on experience with the software.
Our guest speaker did an excellent job at introducing MATLAB to the students.
Thank you for making this event a success!
