DEIS Student Graduate Fellowships

Prof. Andrea Cavallini

Chair, Education Committee

IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society

Graduate Student Fellowship award applications including a research proposal are invited from graduate students in the general areas of electrical insulation and dielectric phenomena.

The graduate fellowships, established by the Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society, are offered to further graduate education in the areas of electrical insulation and dielectric phenomena of interest to the Society, and are open to suitable candidates from all over the world. The fellowship is for students pursuing their Ph.D. degree. The graduate student must be either a student member of IEEE or have applied for a student membership in IEEE at the time of application submission. Priory will be given to those students who are also DEIS members and if the major advisor for the student is also a DEIS member. Previous recipients of this award are not eligible for consideration. The DEIS Graduate Student awards are competitive and the research proposals are refereed by members of the DEIS Education Committee (and/or other referees).

Anticipated award: THREE to FIVE awards of up-to $5000 each.
