The Ezra Systems Seminar is a weekly seminar series that invites Ezra Systems Speakers – prominent industry professionals, prestigious researchers and various other experts from all over the world – to speak at Cornell. The series explores new concepts in systems science and engineering, examines industry insights and practices, and delves into systems-related research at the forefront of any discipline.
The seminar series is free and open to the entire Cornell community. The series is also streamed online for those who cannot attend in person or who would like to view the seminars at a later time.
About Ezra Systems Seminar Speakers
Ezra Systems Speakers spend two to three days at Cornell. During this time, they have one-on-one meetings with selected faculty and students and they give an invited seminar at our Ezra Systems Seminar Series, which has been disseminating state-of-the-art systems engineering research since 2007. These seminars are regularly attended by faculty and graduate students in Systems Engineering and other programs within Cornell Engineering, as well as computer and information science, and the social sciences.
Requirements and Qualifications for Ezra Systems Speakers
Ezra Systems Speakers must be proven leaders in one of the topic areas emphasized above and typically hold positions at the level of full professor. Ezra Systems Speakers slots are by invitation only – there is no application process. If you are interested in becoming an Ezra Systems Speaker, please contact a Systems Engineering faculty member in your area of interest.
Support and Benefits
Ezra System Speakers are reimbursed for all travel expenses. In addition to the technical meetings, they participate in social events such as topical lunches or dinners with selected faculty and students.
