# Welcome to the Computational Physics @ GT CSE research group!

We are happy to have you (you wouldn't be reading this, otherwise).
This document has some parts that are Ph.D. specific, but much of it applies to undergraduate researchers in the group as well.
The most important thing about this document is that I/we are _very glad_ to have you.

GT CSE is on floor 13, and our group is in room S1347.
We also hold meetings either in my office (S1313) or one of the conference rooms on the 13th floor.
Request this from Spencer.
Send him your GTID number, it will likely take about a week to "start working," though times vary.

You will usually have a meeting with Spencer every week (often on Monday).
These sometimes involve you and another student (2-1 meetings).
During this meeting you will present an update on your research.
During this meeting, you will present an update on your research.
We also have an in-person group meeting every week.
Some guidelines apply:
* Have at least one PowerPoint slide for each update, stating the work you did and plan to do in the next week (see examples in the Box `updates/` directory).
* If you have little progress, that's OK! In fact, the weeks you have the least progress are the most important for updates, since my job (in part) is to help you.

* Even if you have little progress because you were busy with coursework or on a vacation, please put this on a slide so I can keep track of things.
