Spring Transition: TechTalks

TechTalks March 2017
TechTalks March 2017
Limited to two minutes each, 13 researchers shared their work at this semester's TechTalks.

TechTalks are rapid-paced samplings of the work from researchers across campus that showcase both published and unpublished work.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.

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.

Nearly a decade later, the Michigan Tech Research Forum revivified the TechTalks, honoring both Donna Michalek's legacy and the new developments in campus research. mtu.edu/research-forum/
