ESIC Power Seminar Series
Every Fall and Spring semester, ESIC brings in both academic and industry members to speak on recent developments within power engineering. This often involves their own research, and keeps our own students up to date on the latest research being done.
Our seminar series is welcome to anyone and can be accessed through TEAMS or in person in EME 26 at WSU Pullman. The seminar takes place every Wednesday of Fall and Spring semester from 10am to 11am PST. Information on upcoming seminars is posted here and on LinkedIn. Check back for updates, we hope to see you there!
Can’t make the seminar? All seminars are recorded and posted to our YouTube.
View all seminar recordings on our YouTube and previous seminar information (including a link to the video or slide deck) in our Seminar Archives.
