The IAM invites all its members to a fun and relaxing day at the annual retreat. Students and postdocs, showcase your research topic in 5-minute lightning talks to a friendly and supportive audience.
Even if you have just started your research, take the opportunity to introduce your research aspirations. Professors, check out the diversity of research in the applied and computational mathematics communities at UBC, and discover collaboration opportunities. Enjoy delicious food and a walk among the blooming flowers, vibrant trees, and tranquil ponds of the beautiful Van Dusen Botanical Gardens.
Time: Friday, April 5, 2019, 8:45 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Location: Van Dusen Botanical Garden, 5151 Oak St. Vancouver BC
Audience: All IAM members (faculty, postdocs, students)
Speakers: IAM graduate students and postdocs
