Conferences and Papers

[Guest butterfly]

Don't know if current grad students check this site, but here's a place to list prospective conferences. Also, to the current grad student, when submt your abstract, is it usually on a paper you were already working on, or do you write one specifically for the conferences you;d like to attend.

Most conference material is recycled from one event to the next. In fact, a lot of people just take the same poster to several different conferences, if they're around the same time. I would estimate that (in my discipline at least), the turnover time for new material is about 1 year, but for Ph.D. students the topic stays pretty much the same for the last 3-4 years and just gets more and more focused and/or elaborate. Nobody ever starts a new topic specifically for an upcoming conference, but a lot of times you do have a particular conference in mind as a good goal or deadline for finishing some part of the project.

Will anyone be attending the SIAM Conference on Nonlinear Waves and Coherent Structures, in early September 2006, at the University of Washington? If so, I hope to see you there

I'll be hading East in September, to start my PhD, and I am guessing I'll be busy settling down. Really wanted to attend the SIAM Nonlinear Waves conference and present my paper there, but oh well, next time. A friend of mine is going to attend. Are you attending the workshop as well, nate? Have fun! It is a good time of the year to be on the NortWest Coast.

I have a couple of other conferences lined up for this summer, and I am already preparing the posters for some and a panel talk for one other. One big conference in Europe next summer, my advisor is planning to invite me to give a panel talk on my project there. Cannot wait! Will then take off to travel around Europe. Oh the joy of conferences!

Wow! Lots of conferences. What area do you work in? And yes, I'll be attending the SIAM conference - this is an especially easy conference for me to attend, seeing that I live in Seattle Also, it's my first conference - I'm a freshman undergrad, and I've just started doing research, so I'm very excited.
