Database Research Group Meetings

 

Who are we?

We are a small bunch of happy folks who love to get together. “We” include X. Sean Wang, Byung S. Lee, and Zhen He – these are professors – and, their students, Like Gao, Tri Tran, Mohammed Al-Kateb, A.J. (Qiang Jing), Bill (Biyu) Liang, and Kate Simonova.

 

What do we do?

We meet regularly and discuss various database topics. The main activities include students’ presentations; an important objective of this is to sharpen their presentation skills – how to covey difficult technical concepts to the audience in an easy and intuitive manner within the given time.

 

When do we meet?

We have been meeting about every two to three weeks since late spring 2005. Our regular meeting room is 322 Votey Building, and regular meeting time is 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
