ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

This year's PhD Google Poster & Demo Competition was a great success, and was attended by both PhD ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ and those interested in their research.

On Wednesday 15th March 2017 the Department of Computing hosted the annual Google Poster & Demo Competition. The competition was open to all Department of Computing PhD ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, who were encouraged to submit a poster demonstrating their research.
