All Master and Doctoral students participate in the weekly lab seminar sessions run by their primary faculty advisors. While each faculty member runs their seminar differently, the seminars are generally student-focused. Students take turns presenting on relevant methods/literature or presenting their own research, usually their primary thesis project. Students present projects at all stages, and this is where they get valuable feedback from other students and participating faculty to improve the final output.
