Day workshop on "How To s of Ph.D. research in Computer Science on 1st September
2009
University of Mumbai at Department of Computer Science,
Vidyanagari, Mumbai-98
Background:
Number of people are approaching us everyday with a great wish of pursuing
further education and research in Computer Science. Compared to this number we
have a very limited resource personnel to guide each one on the personal basis
and satisfy the inquiry. It is found that most of the queries are common. Given
this, organizing such activity to provide a platform to come together and seek
guidance directly from the masters in this subject makes sense.
Objective:
1. Provide the minute level details of How to go
for Ph.D. in Computer Science
2. Describe a vision of a quality research
work - Do s and Don't s to reach to the success
3. Present a review of the
past and the current CS research happenings in the University of Mumbai
4.
Discuss the potential of CS research in the UPE projects at the University of
Mumbai
5. Address the issues of initial stage hurdles and other FAQ
