Tech Talks
...
- 2024 and 2025
We are pleased to announce the 2024/2025 Tech Talk series. We have scheduled 6 talks during Fall 2024 and plan to have an additional 5-6 talks during the Spring 2025 semester. If you are interested in participating in tech talks, please sign up here. Talks will be held at 12pm Eastern Time (11am Central Time).
The events will be held in a hybrid format. Since they will be organized in a workshop format, please expect to actively participate! For all talks, participants may attend in person at either Northeastern University (13th floor of 177 Huntington) or Rice University (10th floor of the BRC). However, fully remote participation will also be available.
