Past/current speakers include representatives from UBS, Avaloq, Melonport, Tendermint, EY, and the University of Pavia.

Teaching Mode

Seminar speakers will present for 45-60 minutes, followed by 30-45 minutes of Q&A. The presenters will provide a list of references at the beginning of the semester, allowing students to seed their report with an overview of current research in the area.
