Faculty of Science Colloquium Series

The Faculty of Science Colloquium Series consists of research talks by external visitors and by faculty members from our university. The series promotes discussion and dissemination of new and innovative research from all areas of science. Previous speakers have included faculty from Biology, Chemistry, Forensic Science, Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics.
