The Lamps of ALADDIN Annual Project Review is a one-day workshop in which students will present their recent research results, or outline ongoing work. The primary purpose of the review is to inform other students and faculty of research that is going on as part of ALADDIN and associated projects. The talks will be conference length (about 20 minutes) plus time for Q&A (about 5 minutes), and should be aimed for a general theory audience. We plan to have enough time to include ample discussion. Lunch and refreshments will be served.
