Research method and approach (Middle slides)

This part of slides should contain research method explaining, the method you have used to solve the research problem. This can be, experimental approach, numerical approach, geometry, mesh, calibration, data verification and validation, data analysis techniques, etc.

Results (Later slides)

Here you will present the research results of your work.

Conclusions (End slides)

Here you will present the conclusions of your work. Use bullet points and write main outcome/conclusions. Try to avoid very long sentences. Conclusions must be clear and able to answer the goal/objectives presented in initial slides.
