Created and sponsored by the Northeastern University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the ECE Distinguished Speaker Series is our flagship seminar series, designed to bring to campus highly accomplished technical leaders in academia or industry who will address a wide variety of topics of interest to our community. Everyone is invited to attend, from undergraduates on up to faculty and industry friends.

All talks are scheduled to take place at 4 pm in Room 378 at 140 The Fenway (unless noted otherwise). Each talk will be free of charge and open to the general public. Refreshments will be served during each presentation.
