Student Paper Competition

This is the third year of the student paper competition. The awards consist of a certificate, and are a prestigious addition to the student's CV. Students who are submitting abstracts for presentation are also invited to participate in this student paper competition.

Abstracts submitted by students for the Student Paper Competition will be reviewed as usual by the Technical Program Committee (TPC). At that time the TPC will select 15 finalists in the Student Paper Competition. The finalists will be notified and asked to produce a poster of their papers to be displayed during a special student poster session. The poster is required independent of whether the student's paper has been selected as an oral presentation. On the first day of the symposium, October 6, all Student Finalist Posters will be presented in a special room for judging by a panel of judges representing the paper's technical group. The posters will remain on display for the duration of the three-day symposium.

Prizes will be given for papers in each of five areas of the TPC:

  1. Medical Ultrasonics.
  2. Sensors, NDE & Industrial Applications.
  3. Physical Acoustics.
  4. Surface Acoustic Waves.
  5. Transducers & Transducer Materials.
Selection criteria are:

  1. Student is first author.
  2. Work is of high quality and done by the student.
  3. Abstract clearly describes the work and includes results.
  4. Student has not won the student prize previously.
At the time of judging the judges will evaluate:

  1. Clarity of student's presentation.
  2. Depth of student's knowledge.
  3. Degree of the student's contribution to the project.
  4. Relevancy of the work to the field.
