The Research Symposium Series (RSS) is a department-sponsored forum for graduate students and advanced-level undergraduates to present their research to a general audience. The Research Symposium Series is designed to facilitate student-faculty discussions of research, provide opportunities for students to develop their technical presentation skills, and promote the research activities of the department. The research symposium series this year will be held in person. There will also be free food provided to audience, presenters, and the judges at each seminar.

This year's symposium will be held only as in-person oral presentations. Presenters will present their research slides in front of a seated audience for 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for Q&A.  

Presenters are given a choice to present in either one of the segments. Select your preference while you fill the form.

If you are interested in presenting your research work in the Research Symposium Series, please use the Abstract Submission Form. Abstracts are limited to 200 words, and a written paper is not required. Winners in a category cannot compete in that same category the following year.
