The goal of the COEIT research day is to spark interdisciplinary research ideas through this forum. COEIT Research Day will provide a forum for faculty across all COEIT departments to:
- Showcase their research and exchange research ideas,
- Create new collaborations across departments within COEIT and with external partners,
- Create internal funding opportunities
This research day event will lead to a follow-up seed-funding activity to fund teams across departments to develop interdisciplinary projects. The seed funding will be initiated shortly after the research day so that faculty members will have an opportunity to make interdisciplinary connections across departments during the research day activities.
The call for contributions including presentations and posters for the research day will accept submissions on a broad range of topics relevant to COEIT research themes. The submission is in the form of abstracts with broad themes selected during submission. Since we will invite external partners for creating new collaborations we welcome both aspirational and completed research contributions. Once we receive all abstracts the working group will form thematic parallel tracks for presentations and posters. We hope to accommodate several representative talks from non overlapping presenters and themes, and as many participants in the poster session as possible to showcase all research strengths in the college. We also anticipate to have invited talks and panels from prior CIP awardees, cyber exploratory grants, and COEIT center presentations. Additionally based on interest in the registration form we will organize Birds-of-a-feather sessions for faculty to converse around thematic topics.
When: 9 am – 3 pm, Friday April 11th
Schedule:
- Parallel tracks: Spotlight talks organized by themes, 9:30 am to 2pm (hybrid – presenters in person)
- Poster session and refreshments 12-3 pm (in-person)
Faculty mentored student awards: Each poster must have a faculty supervisor associated with it. However, they may have student presenters and co-authors on posters or talks. We will select a few students to receive poster awards, selected by a panel of the COEIT faculty members.
