Graduate Fellows: Kempner Sketchpad with Cindy Luo [Graduate Fellows and Invited Guests only]

Cindy will present exploratory analysis from a first/second-year project on representational geometry and the effect of recurrence. The talk will briefly review relevant literature, introduce the research question, describe methods used, and share initial results. A key goal of the session is to get feedback on how to transition from this exploratory phase to a more goal-directed, phase.

To guide the discussion, Cindy has proposed questions such as:

• How interesting or surprising are these results, and why?
• Can we identify any cohesive stories from the results?
• If any additional analysis directions could be worth pursuing (in what ways could she make it more interesting?)
• (an open-ended question/goal) interesting connections in other areas/papers that could be relevant to her current findings.

All Kempner Graduate Fellows are invited. There’s value in different perspectives, so even if this is slightly outside your subfield, please come and collaborate!
