- Office hours: Tuesday 1-2pm. You are welcome to contact me whenever you have questions.
General Description
This seminar is intended to introduce students to current research topics at the forefront of astrophysics and astronomy. Students will learn how to present scientific results, how to defend their research and evaluate findings of other researchers. The seminar will include journal-club like discussions about research papers, and occasional presentations of research from students, postdocs, faculty and guest speakers.
Topic of this term: Stellar Explosions & Cosmology
Weekly Time line
- Faculty contact will have "seeded" the wiki page with starting point reference material by Tuesday 1 week ahead (at least)
- On Friday prior to the talk, the presenter posts a couple of key questions on Wiki. Less advanced students should probably try and arrange to meet with that week's faculty contact to get some assistance with this.
- Till Monday, the participants comment on key issues and add comments and questions
- On Tuesday and after a 15 minute presentation, the topic is discussed
