16th Annual Graduate Student Symposium, 2025
The 16th Annual MIPSE Graduate Student Symposium took place on December 3, 2025, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. We had 49 student poster presentations from the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and the University of Notre Dame. The symposium was a success, enabling our students to share the results of their state-of-the-art research and learn from their colleagues. Further information, including photographs and poster presentations, will soon be posted on this page.
The Symposium featured a special MIPSE seminar by Prof. David Ruzic of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Prof. Ruzic is the winner of the 2024 UM Plasma Prize.
