Welcome to the CS PhD Seminars Webpage

The CS PhD seminar is run fortnightly on Thursday afternoons from 2:15 - 3:15 in EM 1.70 with light refreshments. At these seminars current CS PhD students present their work to the other CS PhD students. This provides an essential part of PhD training and provides a friendly environment whereby students can get comfortable talking about their research and improve their presentation skills.
