Centre for Digital Music seminars
Research Seminars usually take place in Rooms 207 or 209, Electronic Engineering building, School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Mile End Road, E1 4NS. The Electronic Engineering building can be accessed using the glass entrance from Mile End Road, which is located next to the bus stop 'Queen Mary, University of London' (buses 25, 205). Seminars are open to everyone – please feel free to attend.
The room is under access control, so people from outside QM will need to contact C4DM to get in - the lab phone number is +44 (0)20 7882 7480 and if I'm not available, anyone else in the lab should be able to help. If you are coming from outside Queen Mary's, please let me know, so I can make sure no-one's stuck outside the doors.
All are welcome to attend. For those unable to do so, our seminars are streamed live and also made available online after a few days. Please see C4DM Research Seminars - Video Archive for details.
If you wish to be added to or removed from our mailing list, please send me an email and I'll be happy to do so. Also, if you'd like to give a seminar then please get in touch.
