Research Night Date: January 20, 2026 Time: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM Location: ALSSC, Second Floor Join us for Research Night to learn about ongoing research projects and connect directly with faculty and graduate researchers. The event is organized into short segments. In each segment, a group of researchers will give 5-10 minute presentations, followed by a brief panel discussion where students can ask questions. There will also be time between segments to speak with presenters one-on-one. Talks are grouped by research area to make it easy to explore related topics and compare different projects. We currently have 6 faculty speakers from: – Computer & Software Systems – Communication Systems – Power & Energy Systems Students from all years and disciplines are welcome. This event is ideal for students who are interested in research, looking for summer or thesis opportunities, or wanting a clearer picture of what research in different fields looks like. Light refreshments will be provided. Students are welcome to attend for part of the event or stay for the full evening. Please RSVP to help us plan space and refreshments.
