Faculty Research Highlight Videos
In the lead-up to Trick or Research, we are putting together a collection of videos of individual faculty members talking about their research interests. These videos serve two purposes: informing Trick or Research attendees about which labs they may want to learn more about and creating a source of information on our research community for engaging prospective students and collaborators.
Interested in having a research highlight video appear? Please contact us as bpc-programs@cs.illinois.edu!
