The goal of these forums is to highlight
the research of women in the last stages of their PhD studies
in computer science and engineering. Students will be given
the opportunity to publicly discuss their research contributions
in a supportive setting. Experienced researchers will give
them feedback and useful guidance on completing their dissertation
and initiating their research careers. Additionally, the
students will benefit from the opportunity to interact with
established professionals in their field.
Students who are within one year of completing their PhD
degree should consider participating in the forums. The
PhD Forum Committee will select participants based on technical
merit of the research, stage of the research, and diversity
of background, research topic, and approach.
A proposal for the PhD Forum should include
the following:
- Two (2) page abstract of the research (including problem,
approach, and contribution) using a minimum of 10pt type
- Three to four (3-4) keywords that describe the research
area and subareas of the research
- Contact information (name, university, department, email
address) for the dissertation advisor
- List of any publications, presentations, or related
submissions by the student (Full resumes are welcome.)
In addition, students should ask their
dissertation advisor to email a short letter (to Pollock
(at) cis.udel.edu with the subject line: "PhD Forum
Verification") assessing the current status of the
student’s dissertation research and giving an expected
date for graduation. The remainder of the student’s
submission must
be made electronically. The deadline for submission
to the PhD Forum is May 1, 2004. For further information,
contact the GHC2004 Chair for the PhD Forum, Dr. Lori Pollock
(Pollock [at] cis.udel.edu). |
