Group Meetings

During Spring/Summer 2026, lab meetings will be held 11:00-11:50am on select Thursdays (see Table below) in B106 EB (our lab, which is in the basement of Engineering Building). In each lab meeting, we will discuss two journal articles relevant to our research (see Topic column in Table). Participants are encouraged to read the journal articles before lab meeting (email me at skcharles@byu.edu if you'd like me to send you a pdf of the articles).

Visitors are welcome to join us! We expect to meet on the following Thursdays, but there may be some changes, so please refer to this table for updates.
