Instructors

Dr Stefano Coretta will be your primary instructor and point of contact for the workshop.

Ponrawee Praesertsom will help with running the workshop and facilitating the hands on sessions.

Location

The workshop will take place in the Dugald Stewart Building (DSB) of the University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh (see map below).

All sessions will be delivered in Room 3.10 on the third floor. Registration and catering will be in the common room of the seventh floor.

If you are unsure of where to go, ask for directions at the building reception.

There are gender-neutral and accessible toilets on every floor of the building. The Meadows park next door is an excellent place to relax and recharge between sessions.
