Posters
I have made several posters and talks throughout my university years. I've recently converted most of them to PDF files using the method described elsewhere. The list I have in this webpage is by no means complete. The numbering I use refers to the available posters/talks in this webpage, and not to the posters/talks I have made in my university years. Err… I hope that makes sense. Click on the image to get the PDF copy of the posters.
The first poster I made was for the 6th Australian Molecular Modelling Conference in 2000. The poster was on my third year work on molecular dynamics simulations of thin films. This poster is meant to be cut up and pasted on separate panels. I wasn't sophisticated enough to do my poster in actual A0 sized poster at that time.

The second poster I made was for the 26th Annual Conference of the Australian Society for Biophysics in 2002. This was the first poster I made in full A0 size. I started using PowerPoint to create the poster.

The third poster was used for both the Bioactive Discovery in the new millenium, International Modelling conference and the 28th Annual Lorne Conference on Protein Structure and Function in 2003. This was done in PowerPoint.

The fourth poster was made for the 29th Annual Lorne Conference on Protein Structure and Function in February 2004. Again, PowerPoint was used to create this poster.

The latest poster was made for the 16th Biennial Congress of the AIP in January/February 2005. This was done in PowerPoint in the form of 8 panel, A3 pages.

Talks
Whenever possible, I always opt for making posters rather than talks. So, I only made relatively small number of talks. The following contains some of the talks that I have given. Click on the image to get the PDF copy of the talks.
The first one is my Honours year talk in 2001. This was not my first choice for the talk. I had made another one which dealt with the subject in more depth. Unfortunately, the presentation was proven to be too long, and the colours didn't come out right. So, I stayed up the night before the talk to create this, rather simplified presentation. This talk was done in PowerPoint.

The first talk I've done in my PhD was for my department's Postgraduate Research Day in August 2003. The Postgrad Research Day is the day where all postgraduates (on and off campus) come together and catch up on what each other is doing. It's actually a quite nice event and gave us the chance to meet people who we don't normally see everyday. The talk I gave was done in LaTeX using the method described elsewhere. I had used the prosper package.

The second talk I gave in my PhD was for a department seminar in June 2005. This was the first long talk (40 minutes) that I gave, so it presented me with its own challenges. Interestingly, even though I normally hate giving talks, I was actually looking forward to give this seminar. This talk was again made in LaTeX using the prosper package.

The latest talk I did was for the RMIT School of Applied Sciences' Research Symposium in September 2005. The symposium showcases the research that people in the school have done. We were only given 7-minute for our presentations. I think giving a short presentation is actually worse than giving a long presentation, because you don't have the luxury of giving long explanations in a short presentation. It is also a bit depressing to compress 3-year worth of work into a 7-minute presentation! Incidentally, I was the only PhD student giving a talk at the sympsosium. The other people giving the presentations were professors and Doctors. Well, I guess the good thing about it was that there was no peer pressure at all.
