The OMG Lockdown Seminars

omg seminars

Like most research groups the OMG has had travel to conferences and seminars curtailed.  Its important that we keep up interactions with other research groups and hear about the great work that is going on.  The upside is that many of us are getting more comfortable with presenting on-line using various video call platforms.  So we've taken the oppurtunity to invite more external speakers - and they've been really good!

 

Many thanks to Dr Bo-shuan Li for getting these session setup and charing so effectively
