Best Student Paper Award

The IRMMW-THz Conference Best Student Paper Awards

In 2011 the IRMMW-THz Society Board voted to implement an annual “Best Student Paper Prize” to recognize original contributions to the conference from outstanding student attendees. The prize is awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place papers through a committee selection and voting process. Each candidate must present his/her paper to the awards review committee at the conference during which the award is presented. Winners are announced at the banquet or at one of the conference Plenary sessions. Entry rules and procedures are posted on the local conference website in advance of the final paper submission deadline. Candidates may submit their entry when they upload their abstract.

THE 2024 STUDENT PAPER PRIZE FINALISTS:

The 2024 Student Paper Prize Commitee was Chaired by Dr. Masahiko Tani of Fukui University, Japan.  This year the prize has been divided into two tracks designated DISCOVERY and APPLICATION. Four finalists were selected in each of these two categories and the winning papers are listed below.  CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR FINALISTS!
