Undergraduate or High School Students Doing Research

There will be a designated afternoon poster session, “Undergraduate/High School Research” on Tuesday, October 18. DPP will present an outstanding poster award to a number of undergraduate students. This poster session provides an opportunity for students to present results from summer and thesis research, as well as to meet other plasma physicists, such as early career and senior researchers, and other students.

Undergraduate or high school students should submit their abstracts as contributed posters following the abstract submission procedure as outlined above. To present in the Tuesday afternoon poster session please select either Sorting Category 10.01 (High-school research) or 10.02 (Undergraduate research).

If you have questions about the Undergraduate/High School Poster Session, please contact Saralyn Stewart.

DPP will waive the registration fee for undergraduate or high school research presenters. Indicate “undergrad” or “high-school research” on a downloaded Registration Form, scan it and email it to the APS Registrar. Registrar contact information is listed on the form.
