Talks & Presentations

Below is a chronological list of professional talks and presentations that I conducted or significantly contributed to. The basic research model is: have an idea, read relevant research, analyze the data, present findings, publish findings. More is better and the statement “publish or perish” is often part of the academic arena.

Each of the following is an independent research project reflecting steps in the publishing cycle. They were opportunities to interact with colleagues, meet other experts, generate new ideas/projects, and travel.
