Every Wednesday we try to have a guest speaker for our group meetings. Most speakers are experts in areas of computational photography, graphics, vision, signal processing, or optics. However, we often have speakers from a wide range of other areas (artists, architects, photographers, etc).
If you are in the Boston/Cambridge area and would like to give a talk and present your work, we would love to hear from you; please contact us.
Here are some tips for our speakers:
- Prepare to speak for not more than 35 minutes, and keep the rest of the time for discussions.
- We have a hard cutoff for the group meeting at 6PM.
- Familiarize yourself with our research interests and try to challenge us with what you'd like to see in future cameras and imaging.
- Try to engage the students in your talk (5PM is pretty late in the day).
- Avoid talking about just one project; instead try to give a wide overview of your group/research, or give a 10-15 minute overview followed by more detailed description of 1-2 projects.
- As a tradition, the speaker spends the first 2-5 minutes with a lesson of the week. This is usually graduate student advice on doing good research, but can be anything you want along the lines of 'What I Wish I Knew When I Started Grad School'.
- When: 5PM-6PM on Wednesdays
- Where: E15-320 - exit the elevator on the third floor, take a left, through the glass doors, turn right, and then right again.
Finally, please present your work just like you would anywhere else. The Media Lab audience does not require special treatment.
