UWEE Research Colloquium Series
2006 - 2007 Schedule of Talks
The following is a list of all talks being presented for the 2006-2007 Colloquium series. Colloquia are held in EEB room 125, unless otherwise noted.
We have video of the speakers' presentations available for those who are unable to attend the talks. Viewing most of these videos (click on the "Watch the Windows Media video" link) will require Windows Media Player, or another program compatible with Windows Media files such as MPlayer or VLC. If you're using Internet Explorer on either Windows 2000 or XP you can see a Powerpoint presentation (click on the "Watch the full presentation" link) of the speaker's slides alongside the video. Note that this latter option requires ActiveX plugins, the installation of a Powerpoint viewer, and possibly the installation of additional plugins and software.
If you would like to receive email notitfications for our Colloquium, please send email to to be added to the list. An email is sent a three times for each talk: a week before, the day before, and the day of.
