Welcome to the first annual MSEE Student Symposium

The Symposium is being organized by graduate students and designed for graduate students and post docs in the MSEE program.  With the Student Symposium, PI’s are not being invited so as to allow graduate students to showcase their work and collaborate with one another in an environment of their peers.  This symposium will be an opportunity for students to gain exposure to research across research areas and the university and national lab partners. This event will be hosted in Livermore to allow students to network with national laboratory personnel and gain a better understanding of the opportunities and logistics of working at a national lab.

The Symposium is being broken down into two days:

Day 1: Garre Vineyard & Winery

The Symposium will be kicked off with keynote speakers from DTRA and LLNL with an overview of the MSEE program and on MSEE’s impact on DTRA’s overall mission.  The remainder of the day will consist of student oral and poster presentations.

Day 2: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Lab Tours

Students and post docs across RAs will be given tours of facilities and labs at LLNL of labs that closely resemble their current research at MSEE.
