Lab meetings are held every Monday at 2 pm in the Sports Biomechanics Lab (2328 Academic Surge).
Description
Some ideas for topics are:
- Present research progress
- Practice presentations
- Present a tool you find useful and would like to share
- Review a journal paper (dynamics and control related)
- Review each others papers
The format of the meetings would be such that about once per quarter each lab member would present an item from the above list. In the case of reviewing a journal paper or a paper that is being submitted for publication, the paper needs to be distributed at least one week prior to the meeting so that it can be read by everybody and a meaningful discussion of the paper can be had. In the case of reviewing each others work (i.e., conference or journal paper), it should be sent out no later than the morning of the day prior to the meeting.
The overall length of the meeting should be 45 minutes, with no more than 20-25 minutes being taken by a person presenting.
The main objective of the meetings is to share knowledge and keep abreast of relevant research being done in our lab and outside of it. Meeting topics should be related to dynamic systems and control.
If you prepare any electronic media (presentation, links, program, etc), please post them to the website.
