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

February 25, 2021

We have added amazing mentors onto the program. 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.

Some feedback by students who attended the PhD Clinic: "It was great to interact with the mentor. She cleared all my doubts." "Really enjoyed the laser focus technical discussion on the topic at hand." "The session was very informative. The expert patiently listened to problems and invited me for further discussions." "I thank PhD Clinic for providing the opportunity."

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.)
