My research group usually meets once a week for a group meeting, where we discuss research topics. Sometimes we discuss some relevant paper in network security. Other times we will discuss current research within the group or grant writing. Each time we meet, one of the students or myself will be in charge of leading the meeting and speaking on the topic. If we are discussing a paper, this
person will be assigned the task of reading the paper before the meeting
and presenting it to the rest of the group. Everyone gets to choose which
paper to read and how to present it, but we may restrict the topic to
some important problem in network security area. If we are talking about
research and it's your turn, you will need to prepare a short (30 mins)
presentation of your current research. Then we will brainstorm about it,
ask questions and help you resolve the problems you might have. If we
are discussing grant proposals, we will simply brainstorm
possible ideas.
Everyone is expected to participate in the meeting. If
another person is presenting you are expected to take notes about his
slides, the material, presentation style, etc. and give them back to
this person to help them improve. If we are discussing a grant
proposal you are expected to read the material I will send before the
meeting and come up with some ideas to propose.
Group meetings last one hour and I would like all my students to attend
them regularly. If you are sometimes unable to attend, feel free to
skip but you must let me know in advance.
If you are running late, that's fine,
we'll start without you. If you are presenting and cannot make
it, you must let me know as early as possible. Call my cell phone.
