21004 Graduate Student Award Poster Session
OverviewPosters, presented by graduate students alone, are invited to showcase novel research accomplishments in computational science and engineering relevant to any CoMSEF-orented area. These posters will be automatically considered for inaugural CoMSEF graduate student awards. The awards will be made on the basis of the quality of the content and presentation of the research shown in the poster and on the ability of the graduate student presenter to answer questions about the results.
