Young Scientist Awards Page:

This year we will again offer some Young Scientist Awards, which will constitute financial assistance to students, especially students presenting papers—undergraduate and graduate students, and perhaps post-docs. The award will be in the form of a subsidy of the student’s hotel costs. Students presenting papers will normally receive preference for such awards.

If you would like to apply for the Young Scientist Award, please send a letter of application indicating your level in school, including your year in undergraduate or graduate school or at the post-doc level.  Your application should be sent to Chris Palmstrøm, PCSI-Young Scientist Award, Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA  93106-9560, or e-mail: cpalmstrom@ece.ucsb.edu for receipt by October 25, 2008 (rigid deadline). 

Your application should include: (I) a copy of the abstract together with any additional supporting pages that you have submitted to the conference (if you have submitted one), (II) a list of your publications (either accepted or in print at significant journals), and (III) a brief (less than one-half page) statement of why you should be considered for such an award. This should be two pages maximum: one abstract page, and a one-page list of publications, and your statement. Your application must include your name, address, e-mail address, phone, and fax. You will be notified by e-mail of your receipt of application and its outcome.
