Please pay attention to the schedule of this group. It is held before the Statistics Study Group on Tuesdays, around 4:30 p.m..

This group is aiming to bring the best topic surveys done by the most famous lecturers to the laboratory for students. Video lectures chosen by this group, are usually from the topic of interest of several students and a good survey over these topics by a good English spoken lecturer, followed by some fruitful discussions and illustrations by lab supervisors would be really helpful to boost them and let they stay tuned.

• Shigeyuki Oba (Senior Lecturer) -> Content Supervisor
• Kourosh Meshgi (D1) -> Coordinator
• All students, researchers, and supervisors are more than welcomed.

• Video Lectures Net
