Build­ing on last year’s success, this ‘Inter­na­tion­al Meet the Lab’ event invites schol­ars to present their labs, centers, lab groups, and to intro­duce their current/future HMC research. This time, we are priv­i­leged to welcome three estab­lished guest speak­ers to chat about their work!

Dr. Jing­wen Zhang: Direc­tor of the CHATR Lab, Asso­ciate Profes­sor, Depart­ment of Commu­ni­ca­tion, Univer­si­ty of Cali­for­nia, Davis. 

If time permits, after the event, some of the current HMC inter­est group lead­er­ship members will stay to see if any new/current members have ques­tions about this inter­est group. 

You will receive a Zoom link to the event once you register. 

We look forward to seeing you at the event!
