Machine Learning Office Hours

You can make use of MLC Office Hours to meet 1:1 with experienced researchers to chat about anything related to your research, career, or anything else! The MLC members listed below have been kind enough to volunteer their time to host these office hours. If you'd like to meet with anyone listed, you can book their time using the links provided. Office hours are virtual meetings unless unless otherwise specified.

Important note: when you book a meeting, the volunteer is committing to setting aside the required time to meet with you, giving up other parts of their day to do so. After booking, you will receive an email with links that can be used to cancel or reschedule the meeting if you realize you cannot make the time you booked. Please keep this email and use the links as needed.

It is your responsibility to set any reminders or alarms to make sure you show up to the meeting on time or, if needed, cancel or reschedule with enough notice.

If you have attended any Office Hours, kindly leave your feedback on how it went so we can continue to improve the process!
