Student Paper Competition

Any student or new Ph.D. whose degree was awarded after Jan 1, 2019 is invited to submit a paper to the Student Paper Competition. Submissions should be based on work while done as a full-time student; results after graduation are not eligible. Papers should contain original, unpublished work; however, submissions presenting analysis/results taken in part from recently submitted papers under review (but not already accepted for publication) will be considered. In addition, all papers submitted should represent the work and writing of the student submitting the paper, developed in collaboration with any named advisors/collaborators. Proofreading and editing by senior contributors is allowed, but contributions must be written primarily by the student author. Student papers must be formatted according to the template provided (below), with no changes in margins, font sizes, etc. Contributions may be at most 10 pages long, including all figures and references. Papers submitted that do not follow these requirements will not be considered for the competition.

The template and format for the student paper competition are listed at https://github.com/copper-multigrd-conference/student-paper. The template uses the SIAM article class; specific steps to format the submission can befound in the README.

Lodging expenses may be awarded (for students currently attending a U.S. university), subject to funding. Student paper winners will have priority. Students seeking support should email the conference coordinator, Annette Anthony (annetteFanthony@gmail.com) for more information.

Second, you will submit the student paper by January 10, 2020. Please visit again EasyChair, and locate your abstract submission. Then on the upper right corner select "Add a file". This will lead you to a prompt to upload your paper. The paper must be in PDF form.
