Hi Group,

You may already know that Robert Soden is visiting UofT this Thursday and Friday as a faculty candidate (being considered for a joint position between CS and environmental science). Here is his profile: http://robertsoden.io/ 

Robert does very interesting work with mapping and disaster management that many of you like. 

His talk in on Thursday 11am (find details in the attachment). 

On Thursday, there is a Graduate student roundtable at 4:15. We need a student coordinator for this. Rifat, do you want to volunteer? I encourage all of you to attend this roundtable and talk to him. He is a very knowledgeable person and you will love talking to him. 

On Friday, at 2:45 I will have him visit DGP. You can show your project to him. If you have a poster, paper, video, or artifact ready to show, please keep them prepared. Please make sure you are at DGP at that time. 

Best Regards,
Ishtiaque
