Identifying and Choosing Research Topics

 Choosing the right research topic is one of the most important steps in research, yet this is the aspect of research that we sometimes pay little attention to. There is, of course, no algorithm for picking the right rsearch topic, and the concept of a perfect research topic can be poorly defined. In this panel discussion with creative researchers we explore their process for identifying research topics and the many considerations that they use for choosing at topic.

This panel will be led by Roel Snieder. Roel Snieder is Professor of Professional Development Education at the Colorado School of Mines. Over the years he has counseled many people in this process and developed and taught classes on Wellness and on Science and Spirituality at Mines. Roel wrote a book on living a harmonious and fulfilling life for scientists and engineers, The Joy of Science: Seven Principles for Scientists Seeking Happiness, Harmony and Success. He received the Beno Gutenberg Medal for his research from the European Seismological Society. He received the Outstanding Educator Award from the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, and the Ange Melagro Prize of the McBride Honors Program at the Colorado School of Mines for his outstanding class Science and Spirituality.

 


Please register in advance. Lunch will be provided for preregistered attendees.
