RSRG Seminars
Currently, we have three (nearly) weekly group meetings within RSRG:
- An informal "Networking" group meeting/seminar 12-1:30pm on Thursdays covering topics related to energy-efficient IT and networking.
- An informal "Smart Grid" group meeting 12-1pm on Mondays covering topics related to the electricity grid.
- An informal "CS/Econ" group/seminar meeting 12-1pm on Fridays covering topics at the intersection of computer science and economics.
All of these are open to anyone interested in attending. Please email Sydney Garstang (sydney -at- caltech.edu) to be included on the relevant mailing list for each.
In addition to the informal talks at our group meetings, we occasionally have more formal seminars by visitors. The schedule for the formal RSRG seminar series for the current term is below. A listing of past RSRG Seminars can be found here.
