Past Events
Seminar on December 17th
Dr. Joseph Wang from UC San Diego presented on Monday, December 17th at 3:30 pm at UNLV. His talk was titled "Wearable Electrochemical Sensors: Toward Labs on the Skin or in the Mouth" and he gave a fascinating talk on his group's research. We hope to have Dr. Wang come back again and present on his robotics research.
