AMI Seminar Series

The AMI maintains an active research seminar series, which typically runs on Fridays at 3:00pm in CAB 657. The talks cover a wide variety of research areas related to Applied Mathematics, and are aimed at both faculty members and graduate students.

To suggest speakers or for questions please contact the seminar coordinator at xinweiyu@math.ualberta,ca or xinwei.yu@gmail.com.
If your talk needs to be scheduled at other than the reserved time (3-4pm Fridays), please contact Dana to reserve a room.
