What's this?

This presentation by a UVA engineering professor is brutal.

Work offers these training/seminar sessions every so often to see advances in various engineering technologies. This one is about advances in SMA (shape memory alloy) for use in structural integrity for buildings. The professor is clearly foreign (French I think, if you can believe that!), and his strong accent makes it hard to make out his words. I am watching through WebEx and the audio quality isn't great, but still, listening to this guy is bad. The words I can definitely make out are "the" and "uh", which he repeats ad nauseam. Ugh :-(

But the notes he handed below should have helped, right? -- VaAkita 05/22/2019 9:17PM

Had 3 professors for freshman physics. All spoke english 2nd/3rd language -- typed by ben 05/22/2019 2:48PM

That reminds me of a Russian physics prof I had. I dropped that class! ** -- ArdbegHokie 05/22/2019 3:41PM

Probably Prof. Ozbulut. He does good work in that area (I think)... -- BB Hokie 05/22/2019 1:59PM

Yep, that is him! He really knows his stuff, just hard to understand. ** -- ArdbegHokie 05/22/2019 2:03PM

Ask him to speak American! ** -- FfxStationHokie 05/22/2019 1:53PM

French would make sense ** -- Brown Water 05/22/2019 1:52PM
