Undergraduate or High School Students Research

We encourage undergraduate and high school students to consider submitting their research in subject category 12.01 or 12.02, which will place their presentation in a special poster session with other students. Students should submit their abstracts as contributed posters following the abstract submission procedure. The deadline for undergraduate and high school students is extended to Friday, August 14, 2026.
 
DPP will present an outstanding student poster award to several undergraduate students. The special poster session provides an opportunity for undergraduates to present results from summer and thesis research, as well as to meet other plasma physicists, such as early career, senior researchers, and other students.
