Looking for PhD Student Panelists for the Workshop for Young Female Researchers in Speech Science & Technology

 
The organizers for YFRSW2019 are looking for women students at the graduate level to participate in the student panel held in the Workshop for Young Female Researchers in Speech Science & Technology.
 
The panel will last and hour and will discuss the experience in academia and research, reasons for choosing the PhD program, pros and cons between academia and industry, etc. This will be part of the conference, will take about an hour of your time. Your current experience in the PhD life would be a great help for the undergraduate students and you can also add this panelist role to your resume!

If you are interested and would like to participate in the panel, please contact Theodora Chaspari <This email address is being protected from spambots.

Hello, Goodbye!

[10-Jan 2019]

SCA-SAC says thank you to Lauren Ward (University of Salford, Manchester) who is retiring from her board duties as volunteer coordinator. All the best for your future endeavours, Lauren! Ravi Shankar Prasad (Speech and Vision Lab, IIIT-Hyderabad) joined the ISCA-SAC board as technical coordinator before Interspeech 2018 and was a tremendous on-site support for the organization of our events. A warm welcome to you, Ravi!
