Call for speakers – UR SPIE Summer Colloquium


Do you do research involving light?  Do you get excited about it?  Do you stay up at night thinking about your research?  Do you want to tell others about your research?  Do you wish I’d stop asking you questions?  If you answered yes to any of those questions, then keep reading.
On Thursdays from Noon-1pm, during the months of June, July, and August, UR SPIE will be hosting a weekly Summer Colloquium during which 1-2 students can present their research to a group of their peers.  But, in order for this to happen, we need commitments from speakers.
The format of this summer’s talks will be as follows:
  1. Alternating weeks of one long talk (~30-45 min) and two short talks (~20 min)
  2. You can talk about research you have completed, research you are currently working on, or research you plan to do in the future.  We do not want to limit these talks to only mature research.  If you have a problem and would like to an audience to talk about it to, this can be your forum.
What’s in it for you, as speakers?  Well, I’m glad you asked.  Not only will it give you valuable experience giving a presentation in front of an audience, but you will be handsomely rewarded with the insights and suggestions from a room full of bright young minds (and maybe a few old minds, too).  And if that isn’t enough, $50 prizes will be awarded to our top two speakers, with the two runner-ups receiving an SPIE field guide.
If that all sounds pretty darn good, reply to urspie@gmail.com with a few things:
  1. Your preferred dates to give your talk (between June 20 – August 15)
  2. The topic you will be talking about (preferably a title)
  3. Whether it will be a long talk or a short talk
We look forward to hearing from you!
