Doing PhD in Any Area of Computing? Need Feedback/Suggestions? Check out These #PhDClinic December Slots

December 1, 2020

Hope you are safe in these difficult times. Around 90 PhD students across India have interacted with mentors; we have added many amazing mentors onto the program. Some feedback by students who attended the PhD Clinic in November: "Session was very good. The way he explained his thought process behind writing his own paper was good. Definitely something to take forward from the session." "Mentor has put lights on the areas where I had doubts. It was a great session. He helped me to formalize the experiments and protocols to proceed with my project."

The purpose of the PhD Clinic is to help PhD students across the country to get feedback and suggestions on their work from subject matter experts. We believe having this third eye, in addition to the advisor(s), will give a great advantage to your research work. Any PhD student (not restricted to ACM members) can sign up for the Clinic. More information here.

Here are some slides on What Clinic Is (not), Why Clinic, Disclaimers, How It Will Work.

Below we list mentors along with their areas of work and affiliation; if you are interested in getting feedback, and having a discussion with any of them, please register here to interact with amazing mentors! (Again, ACM membership not required.)
