Introduction:

The IEEE Magnetics Society Chapter of the Northern Virginia/Washington DC is organizing the IMAGINE Conference 2007 to provide an occasion for the magnetism researchers in this region and nearby to meet, interact, and exchange ideas. In addition, this is a good opportunity for postdoc/junior researchers and graduate students to present their research and gain exposure in the magnetism community.

Student to be our contributors

Just like the APS March meeting, a student will be guaranteed an opportunity to present an oral or poster presentation. For students who will graduate soon, remember to bring along your resume and have a chat with the research group that you are interested joining.

Postdoc/junior researchers to be Rising Stars

Postdoc/junior researchers who show potential in the field will be invited to make presentation as Rising Star Lecturers. They may also have opportunities as session chairs in the conference. Remember to submit your abstract to the conference for consideration as Rising Star Lecturers.

Nomination of speakers

The chapter is organizing this conference for the benefit of you, the magnetism researchers in the region. Suggestions for invited speakers are welcome.

IEEE Magnetics Society Distinguished Lecturers

In addition,the 2007 IEEE Magnetics Society Distinguished Lecturers are invited to lecture during this event as the keynote speakers.

This event is FREE for IEEE members.
