<b class="ContentPasted1">Student Introduction and Interaction Session</b>: The Student Introduction and Interaction Session is designed for QCRE student members to build their professional network, show up their talents, and learn from invited guests. In this
session, each student will be given ~2-3 minutes to deliver a brief speech about their research interests and accomplishments. This will be followed by a mini panel discussion where panelists will discuss QCRE opportunities for students, job market preparation
(academia vs. industry), and interact with the attendees. <u class="ContentPasted1">
For this session, the number of participants will be capped at around 20 due to the limited capacity.
