COSAM Graduate Student Research Forum (Formerly 'COSAM Interdisciplinary Colloquium')
Come learn about the research of COSAM graduate students!
In an effort to share the research conducted by graduate students in COSAM with others in the research community, two then-graduate students, Dr. Frank Sturm (PhD Mathematics, 2014) and Dr. Hector Corzo (PhD Chemistry, 2017), established the COSAM Interdisciplinary Colloquium series in 2013. Effective from Spring 2023, it is renamed as COSAM Graduate Student Research Forum. This forum offers graduate students in COSAM the opportunity to share their insights on their field of study and their research with the broad COSAM community. The given talks are brief; each speaker is allocated 15 minutes of time, which encompasses a 12-minute-long presentation followed by a 3-minute-long discussion. Student participation is encouraged. Each colloquium has at least three speakers from the departments in COSAM. Catered food is freely served to all starting at 12 PM and presenters are awarded a small gift and a certificate of participation from the Dean of COSAM.
