CARE Research Day 2018
Save the Date: 4/13/18
|
|
We've selected a date! We'll host the 3rd Annual CARE Research Day on the afternoon of Friday, April 13th, 2018. Our keynote speaker is Andy Hoffer, Ph.D. from Simon Fraser University. Dr. Hoffer's research involves neural interfaces using nerve cuff electrodes.
CARE Research day is a half-day symposium composed of a single keynote followed by a three hour poster session featuring CARE research from UT Austin and other institutions around Texas. The goal is to provide a forum for communication and encourage collaborations.
