Weekly Seminar Schedule for 2005-2006
The Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science holds regular weekly seminars on a broad range of imaging-related topics. The focus for this year's series will be Imaging of Motion. Speakers are outside researchers as well as our own faculty and students. If an abstract is available, it can be seen by clicking on the title. Speaker biographical information, if available, can be found by clicking the speaker's name. All seminars are held Wednesdays at 4:00PM in the Carlson Auditorium.

Through November 2, the archived video streams require Windows Media Player.

From November 30 on, the live and archived video streams require Real Player.

If you need help finding our building, call the CIS office: (585)475-5944.
