1st Astro Postdoc Symposium

Tuesday 9 Jun 2026, 13:50 → 18:00 Asia/Shanghai

Tsung-Dao Lee Institute/N6F-N600 - Lecture Room (Tsung-Dao Lee Institute)

This symposium aims to bring together all postdocs from the Astronomy and Astrophysics division, getting to know each other and seeing what people are working on. No pressure — just a relaxing space to share, listen, and hang out with fellow postdocs. We will have dinner together after the symposium.

Everyone is welcome — postdocs, students,  faculty, anyone who's curious.

This time we will have 8 talks (15min each). Also, you are encouraged to bring one slide or one of your favorite plots from your research.  We will have a section for short presentations.
