As researchers, we sometimes want to directly communicate with the author of a journal paper for further discussions. While a common way is to write emails to the authors and look forward to the author’s response, we are trying to organize an online seminar series that can enable a direct discussion between the author and interested readers. For the first time, IEEE CRFID Singapore Section would like to introduce a seminar series where the speakers are to introduce their published journal papers that are related to RFID technologies. All the seminars are free to participate but registration is needed. The seminars will roughly be 45 mins presentations and 15 mins Q&A to cover the details of the journal papers. In this forum, the speakers can be nominated by participants, and we, as organizers, will do publicity work, arrange schedules and provide Zoom links for registration and interaction for the successful nominations. Please note the nominator should inform the nominee and get the nominee’s consent about the presentation. Self-nomination is welcome. The nomination form and details can be downloaded from here.

The series will start in July 2022. Below is the list (more to come) of the seminars that are to be presented in the series. The registration link for each seminar is provided. After registration, the zoom link and passcode will be sent to your registered email address.
