Best Ph.D. Student Paper Awards 

 

The PhD Colloquium addresses PhD students that are within one year of their
graduation (planning to graduate by Dec. 2014). Students close to graduation
will be given an opportunity to showcase their work during a short
presentation session in the Colloquium (apart from the regular tracks).  All
Colloquium students will then participate in the Colloquium Poster Session.
Presenting your PhD efforts to your peers and supporting society members
will give you valuable feedback, support your research with additional ideas
and parallel ongoing work, and introduces you to a network that can be very
helpful with your career once you graduate. The PhD Colloquium will be
conducted on Sunday, 8 December 2013 starting with lunch. 

 

 

The keynote speech for the Ph.D. Colloquium will be given by Dr. Frederica
Darema <http://www.af.mil/information/bios/bio.asp?bioID=14143> , a member
of the Senior Executive Service and Director of Mathematics, Information and
Life Sciences at Air Force Office of Scientific Research in Arlington,
Virginia.

 

 

 

 

 

There are three options to participate in the PhD Colloquium with different
benefits:

 

1. Poster Only: Submit your work as a poster with 2-page extended abstract,
get accepted, and you will have a good reason to come to the WSC 2013.

or the Colloquium (not both).

one-year membership.

Additional Information about the Colloquium

 

Poster preparation guidelines:

You will be provided a 4 feet high and 8 feet wide bulletin board. We
recommend that you use approximately 4 feet X 6 feet of space for your
display. There is no requirement that you fill the board. Your poster should
cover the main points of your work and be as self-explanatory as possible.
However, you should participate in the evening event when the posters are
presented, as peers and society members will have additional questions. Even
when you gave a presentation, the poster session is always a great
opportunity to talk about details, discuss relevant related research, and
bond with fellow PhD students.

 

Presentations:

If you submit a student paper for the conference you can use your
presentation for the PhD colloquium as well as for the track presentation.
You may need to edit the slides a little bit, as we may be more time
constraint, but you do not have to present something special in the PhD
colloquium that cannot used in the regular sessions.

 

Confirmations:

Final year students who wish to take part in the presentation session should
have their thesis advisor send an email to the Colloquium Chair at
celik at miami.edu before August 19, 2013 stating that the student:

 

a) is within one year of graduation,
b) is the main author of the submission, and
c) will participate in the Ph.D. Colloquium. 

 

Student Papers:

Student papers are part of the regular conference and fall under the
submission and review guidelines as documented on the WSC website
http://www.wintersim.org. If you have an accepted paper at the WSC 2013 and
would like to participate in the Ph.D. colloquium as well, please send a
short note with the details of the accepted paper to the Colloquium Chair at
celik at miami.edu before August 19, 2013.
