Research Lab Matchmaking

Overview

On January 22, 2024, the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) will be hosting a virtual event, where prospective students can meet 1 on 1 with our core and cross-appointed faculty members.

Think of it as professional match-making for graduate positions. Eligible candidates will be invited to join the event.

The objective of this session is to maximize the number of meetings between students and faculty from the same discipline within 2 hours. Each session will be 5 minutes long, and you will only meet with people from your own discipline. Faculty member will only meet with students, and vice versa. You will not be matched with the same person twice.

Within the 5 minute time frame, the objective is to build a quick impression between the graduate student and faculty members. This responsibility lies with both parties. If both parties feel like there's chemistry (no pun intended), the participants are encouraged to exchange information, and engage in a more in-depth discussion at your own schedule after this event is over.

If you have any questions about this event, please send an email to comm.bme@utoronto.ca.
