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

PhD Clinic: 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 really motivating and encouraging. It helped me learn about new possibilities and get feedback on my current work.” “It was wonderful and informative to talk with the mentor."

Here are some slides on What Clinic Is (not), Why Clinic, Disclaimers, and 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.)
