3rd Annual Graduate Student Symposium, 2012
The 3rd Annual MIPSE Graduate Student Symposium took place on October 3, 2012, at Michigan State University. The symposium included a special presentation by Prof. Konrad Gelbke of MSU titled From NSCL (National Superconducting Cyclotron Facility) to FRIB (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams) at MSU. We had 24 posters presented by UM students, 12 posters presented by MSU students, 4 posters presented by visiting students from Pusan National University (Korea), and one poster presented by Prof. Hiroyuki Kousaka, visiting scholar from Nagoya University, Japan.
Best Presentation Award
The MIPSE judges (Prof. Jes Asmussen, Prof. Andrew Christlieb, and Prof. Yue Ying Lau) had quite a challenging task in selecting from the many outstanding presentations. After their deliberations, Best Presentation Award winners were:
- Kentaro Hara (UM)
- Peiyao Liu (MSU)
- Wei Tian (UM)
The winners received a MIPSE mug, award certificate, and a plasma book of their choice.
