Goals

This collaborative lecture series will feature presentations by HPI professors. We want to give an overview of the breadth of research at HPI in an approachable format. Besides an overview of research topics, we will introduce the breadth of the research groups at HPI. The lecture series is a collaboration of professors at HPI.

Agenda

The course will be held in L-E.03, Tuesdays, 5pm. The first session will also be streamed on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/92274001314?pwd=djRyUmhYZkpQc2QvU09oQXl1N3d0Zz09

General information

You can access the course on Moodle.
The course is graded and has 3 ECTS.

Deliverables

The course is available for both bachelor and masters students, with the same deliverables but different requirements.

Lecture summary

Write a summary for one selected lecture. Depending on the number of participants, this will be done in groups. Each lecture will be assigned to one person or group.
All summaries will be published on the course website. The summary should give a quick and engaging overview of the talk (10-15 min reading time). We will ask the presenters to review your summary and help you with questions.

Individual Poster Project

Prepare an A1 poster (portrait format), with one of the following contents, depending on your study level. You will present your poster at the final session.

Bachelor Students: Based on one or more of the lectures, you can either prepare a technology landscape or explain a data science or data engineering process. Both should be as detailed as possible.

Master Students: To extend technology or methodology presented in one or multiple of the lectures, you should prepare a research project proposal. The poster should highlight goal, problem, and solution of your proposal and the connection to the lecture.
