NCN-SLC holds an NCN Student Research Symposium (NSRS) in Spring/ Summer each year. The purpose is to bring together students from the various research groups working on nanoscience and computational disciplines and provide a forum for sharing of ideas and knowledge.
NCN Student Research Symposium 2009 (NSRS 2009)
This year NSRS was held on June 16, 2009 in conjunction with the NCN Annual Site Visit. There were 17 presentations, 12 posters and about 40 attendees, with an average attendance of 20 in each presentation.
Topics:
Theoretical and experimental research related to Nanoscience/ technology and computational science useful for simulations in this area.

Call for Abstracts
Flier: (file:nsrs_poster_09.pdf not found). Please email a short abstract (150 words) to ncn.slc.amrit@gmail.com or to aeislam@purdue.edu. Only electronic versions in MS Word or pdf formats shall be considered. The deadline for abstract submission is 11:59 PM CST on Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Please note that the abstract is for the presentation only and a full length paper is NOT required. There will be a total of 20 presentations, evenly divided between the two sessions. A computer with MS Powerpoint and projector shall be provided. The accepted presenters shall be notified by June 12, 2009 and they are highly encouraged to email a copy of the Powerpoint slides for their presentations by June 15, 2009 to avoid delays on the day of the symposium. Each speaker shall be provided a maximum of 15 mins for their presentation and question/ answer session. We recommend 11 mins of presentation and 4 mins of Q/A, but this distribution is solely at the speaker’s discretion.
Call for Posters
All students who will exhibit posters to the NCN Site Visit Team on June 17 are recommended to also participate in the Poster Session on Jun 16, which will act as a dry run for their posters. Other students are invited to exhibit posters showcasing their research. You can bring the posters along with you on Jun 16. We will have a stand and board ready for you. However, you need to RSVP to ncn.slc.amrit@gmail.com by 11:59 PM CST on Friday, June 12, 2009 that you wish to exhibit a poster at the symposium. Here is the template for the poster: (file:2009_ncn_poster_template_landscape.ppt not found).
