We have a weekly lab meeting, in which lab members present their ongoing projects, give tutorials (e.g., WTC analysis, working with Git) or in which we have group brain storms and discussions (e.g, on the use of generative AI in research). We use a flexible format. Below you will find a an overview of topics we have discussed previously. We also regularly invite guest speakers. We especially want to give early career researchers room to present, so if you work on something close to our research, do let us know! Also, if you want to join (in person), let us know!
