Eligibility: The nominee must be a full time graduate student expecting to graduate within one year of the 11th Joint MMM\Intermag Conference. The student’s area of research may either be theoretical or experimental in any of the general technical and scientific areas normally presented as part of the 11th Joint MMM\Intermag Conference. The student’s regularly submitted digest must have been accepted for presentation through the normal digest review process by the 11th Joint MMM\Intermag Conference Program Committee as an oral presentation.
Nature of Award: This award consists of a one-year fellowship of $1000 for the winner and a one-year fellowship of $250 to each of the remaining finalists. The names of all finalists competing for the award will be announced in the 11th Joint MMM\Intermag Conference Program Booklet and Digest CD. The name of the winner will be published in the Program Booklet of the following MMM Meeting.
Selection Process: Up to eight finalists will be selected by a Student Award sub-committee of the 11th Joint MMM\Intermag Conference Program Committee. Because almost all digests have multiple authors, selections will be made based on the regularly submitted digest plus a brief explanation of the student’s contribution. Notification to the finalists will be made by e-mail in early October 2009. The presentations, which must be made by the finalist, will be evaluated at the Conference by the Student Award sub-committee and the winner will be announced shortly after the conclusion of 11th Joint MMM\Intermag Conference. The decision of the Student Award sub-committee is final.
