Research project
During the master, a student will learn research by doing research. During the two years of the master, a student will thus spend between one or two days each week in a research group in order to do research projects with professors and PhD students of IP Paris.
Research project schedule
| When | Where | What |
|---|---|---|
| 19/09/2023 at 10h00 | Telecom Paris, (room: 1A312) and online | Presentation of project proposals |
| 26/09/2023 | Project starts | |
| 12/02/2024 | TBD | Final evaluation for M2 students |
| 13/02/2024 | TBD | Mid-project review for M1 students |
| 23/02/2024 | Deadline for submitting the research report | |
| 20/06/2024 | TBD | Project evaluation (for M1 students) |
| 28/06/2023 | Deadline for submitting the final research report (for M1 students) |
Project Evaluation
Research projects will be evaluated on a research report, and a presentation.
Research report
The report is a expected to be a 5 to 8 pages research paper formatted using the IEEE conference style. The report should present the context of the work, its contribution, a positioning with respect to related works.
Both M1 and M2 students are expected to send their research report by email before friday, 23/02/2024. M1 students are expected to update their report and resubmit it in june.
Project defense
The project defense is a 20 minutes presentation of the research work followed by 5-10 minutes of questions. The presentation has to explain the work context and problematics, and describe the contribution of the conducted research project.
Project defense schedule
The project defense will take place Palaiseau or online at this address.
Attending the other students presentation is not mandatory, but it would be appreciated.
