Students are invited to participate in a student research competition at the 1st ASME Hydrogen Risk and Reliability Analysis Conference (HyRRAC), a worldwide forum for hydrogen risk research experts, industry, and enthusiasts to share their findings, experience, and research progress towards risk and reliability of large-scale hydrogen storage plants and systems.
The Student Research Lightning Round Winner will be presented to a student who best presents their research in exactly one slide and three minutes. Two awards will be given: one to a graduate student and one to an undergraduate student (if undergraduate participation is too low to merit a separate category, undergraduates and first-year graduate students will be grouped into an "early-stage" category).
Competition Process and Criteria
In this special session, participants will explain their scholarly research in exactly one slide and three minutes (165-195 seconds). Presentations should include information on the research motivation, methods, data, anticipated results, impact, stakeholders, sponsors, and collaborators). A panel of experts will judge the presentations. Students will also be given the opportunity to network with experts and each other during the session, receive feedback, and connect with potential mentors.
Eligibility Requirements
The presenter must be an undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in a university program at the time of presentation. The majority of work presented in the paper should be attributable to the student.
Students from all majors and disciplines are invited to participate. 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.
