The PSA Technical Committee invites applications from students to participate in the second PSA Student Research Lightning Round at the PSA 2023 meeting. In this special session, participants will explain their dissertation or thesis research in exactly one slide and three minutes (165 - 195 seconds). Presentations should include information on the research motivation, methods, data, anticipated results, impact, and stakeholders, sponsors, and collaborators. The audience is a technical audience - all researchers focused on various aspects of PSA. PSA experts will judge the presentations and the best presentations in two categories  will receive recognition at the conference.

The presenter must be an undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in a university program at the time of presentation. The majority of work presented should be attributable to the student. All students registered to attend PSA 2023 are invited to participate. The lightning round talk does not need to be associated with a paper submitted to the PSA conference, but the topic must fall within the domain of PSA. Students are encouraged to present on their capstone, thesis, or dissertation topic at its current stage to help hone presentation skills and advance the visibility of their work.

Interested participants should apply to this opportunity by filling out this Google Form. Questions should be directed to session organizers, Prof. Katrina Groth (kgroth@umd.edu) and Dr. Vincent Paglioni (paglioni.research@gmail.com). Please notify us (i.e., fill out this form) if you are participating in the competition by June 20, 2023.
