Student Events at ISAF 2019 in Lausanne, Switzerland
Student Welcome Reception (Sunday 14th, 5-6:30pm, EPFL BC Cafétéria)
On Sunday 14th July, join us from 5pm to 6:30pm for a free drink and food at the rooftop terrace of EPFL’s BC Cafétéria and get to know your peers in the international ferroelectrics community! This informal event will be an excellent way to network with fellow participants after a hard day of learning at the conference Tutorials. No registration is required. We look forward to welcoming you to Lausanne and enjoying the mountain view together!
Speed Networking Pitch (Tuesday 16th, 6-8pm, Swiss Tech Convention Center, Room 2BC)
The Speed Networking Pitch event, on Tuesday 16th July from 6.00pm to 8.00pm, will be an opportunity for students to present themselves to future employers and the research community. Search for a graduate position or your newest team member, and expand your professional network! Two individual juries of either leading academic or industry representatives will selected their winner. Bring a single slide and show everyone your most interesting results in 60 seconds!
The first hour of this networking event will be composed of student pitches of 60 seconds in length (maximum of 40 student participants) followed by an informal networking session, with finger food and snacks provided. The prizes of the Student Speed Pitch competition will be awarded at the Conference Dinner on Thursday 18th.
The jury has been finalised for the event, with the following leaders in the field agreeing to judge:
Lauren Garten; US Naval Research Laboratory
Astri Haugen; Technical University of Denmark
Jacob Jones; North Carolina State University, US
Yao Kui; Nanyang Technological University/Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore
Yun Liu; Australia National University
Barbara Malic; Jožef Stefan Institute, Slovenia
Gunnar Picht; Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany
Laura Stoica; THALES UK
Participants will be judged on their single presentation slide, their clarity of speech and time management, their clarity of results/research, and the overall impression they would give if this pitch was in a job interview scenario.
There will be three prizes awarded, and each winner will receive a IEEE UFFC-S certificate and $250 USD!
We hope you are looking forward to a successful pitching event!
Student Poster Competition event
30 PhD students have been selected by a panel of judges as finalists for the Student Poster Competition. Each student will have a poster in the poster area for the conference. A jury will select ten winners during the poster session of Monday and Tuesday noon, 1315-1415. The winners will be announced during the conference dinner on Thursday evening, for which they are invited. They will receive a diploma together with a prize.
