PhD Student Fellowship
Description: One year fellowships are awarded to promote, recognize, and support PhD level study and research within the Electron Devices Society’s field of interest.
It is expected that three fellowships will be awarded, with the intention of at least one fellowship being given to eligible students in each of the following geographical regions every year: Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and Asia & Pacific. Only one candidate can win per educational institution.
Prize: US$5,000 to the student and if necessary funds are also available to assist in covering travel and accommodation cost to attend the IEDM for presentation of an award plaque. The EDS Newsletter will feature articles about the EDS PhD Fellows and their work over the course of the next year.
Eligibility: Candidate must: be an IEEE EDS student member at the time of nomination; be pursuing a doctorate degree within the EDS field of interest on a full-time basis; and continue his/her studies at the current institution with the same faculty advisor for twelve months after receipt of award. Sponsor must be an IEEE EDS member. Previous award winners are ineligible. This fellowship cannot be given to a candidate for the same work for which an IEEE Technical Field Award or IEEE Medal was previously received.
Basis for Judging: Demonstration of his/her significant ability to perform independent research in the fields of electron devices and a proven history of academic excellence.
