Graduate Student Colloquium


Fridays, 11:10-12, 939 Evans

The graduate student colloquium is a venue for graduate students nearing completion to give colloquium-style talks (i.e. accessible to a general math audience) connected to their theses. The seminar is open to everyone (professors, first-years, etc.) and it will provide introductions to a wide variety of research areas at Berkeley.

If you are interested in speaking, please email me.
