TechTalks are rapid-paced samplings of the work from researchers across campus that showcase both published and unpublished work.
Research is in-depth, detailed and deliberate. It's a serious challenge to condense and clarify a research project into a two-slide, two-minute presentation. But our researchers at the Michigan Tech Research Forum TechTalks are up to the challenge.
