PHDBA279S is the PhD in BPP Research Seminar, generally known as the BPP Student Seminar. It is a weekly seminar where students present their research to other students in the group. This is a required seminar for BPP students in the 2nd year and above. For Fall 2011 Noam Yuchtman will be the supervising faculty member.

There is an "official version" of this page, that the faculty can access. It is not important to keep the two syncronized. We can post the "final" results of the exploration that will take place on this page to that page once we are done.

New Institutions

Following a BPP student group meeting with Steve Tadelis last term, we collectively (and with the faculty) agreed a new institution for the presentation order at the Student Seminar. This is detailed here:

The class is as follows:

  • Thursdays from 12:30pm to 2pm.

Who is Presenting

A list of all BPP students is here. Generally, 2nd years pair up to share a slot in the fall. With 3 second years, we should see if we can organize a possibly extended slot, or if one wants to take a full slot.
