	RIT Center for Student Innovation Building 87
Keynote Speaker: Arjun Yodh, University of Pennsylvania Invited Speakers: TBA

Time: 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM

Organizers: Mark Bowick (SU), Itai Cohen (Cornell), Cristina Marchetti (SU), Abe Stroock (Cornell), and George Thurston (RIT)

Registration:

There is a $15/person registration fee for all participants. This is to be paid on site on the day of the meeting. Cash or check only, please.

Please register by sending an e-mail to 2submit@rit.edu by Dec. 1 2009.

Please include a title and abstract for your "sound bite" - a three minute update of your current research.

Goal: At this workshop we will have five invited talks from local researchers as well as one additional keynote speaker. The rest of the time will be allotted for up to 2.5 min. presentations. These presentations should give the audience a flavor for the research topic and techniques used to address the research problem discussed. The overall goal is to give the audience an overview of the type of research techniques being used and problems being studied in the New York area.

The rest of the time will be unstructured and available for people to discuss possible collaborations or other research interests. As such we hope and expect that students will attend regardless of whether their faculty advisors can attend.
