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

September 30, 2020

Hope you are safe in these difficult times. More than 40 PhD students across India interacted with mentors in September. Some feedback by students who attended the PhD Clinic: "It was more than my expectation, professor was so polite and humble to answer my all questions." "Overall, it was a very informative session which also busted some myths and assumptions." "It was just super amazing!" "It was a really good session. I got some concrete suggestions, and some abstract suggestions. Overall, it will be helpful IMO." "Amazing :-) Highly recommended."

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!
