HRSS Seminars

 

HRSS Seminars High resolution (optical / IR) Stellar Spectroscopy group is an undergrad research group under the Space Physics division of the Space Sciences and Technologies Graduate program in the Akdeniz University. The group is active since 2013 and is open to not only undergrad students but also to prospective MSc and PhD students/candidates. The group membership is also open to all enthusiastic undergrads from computer science, engineering, and physics departments.

"Undergrads at work" Program for Undergrads Prospective undergraduate group members will have a hands-on active learning experience in the field of Astronomy. They will work on specific projects so they will learn as they assist. Our intention and also motivation with this program is to trigger scientific research interest of the undergrads on Astrophysics. I'm currently in the faculty of science building, Block-B: the room number is BZ8 which also happens to be the place where we generaly plan the research activities of the group.
