*Instruction of Oral Presentation:

For oral presentations, please prepare your slides in a 16:9 aspect ratio. The presentation should last between 10 to 12 minutes, followed by a Q&A session at the end of the oral segment. Timing will be strictly enforced to ensure a smooth transition between speakers. To stay within the time limit, we suggest rehearsing your talk beforehand, using one slide per minute as a general guideline. The conference chairs will introduce each speaker and their talk title.
