Student Paper Review Initiative

The SAC Student Paper Review Initiative aims to pair a student with a senior member of the community to complete a paper review. We are looking for students who are interested in reviewing a paper for Turbo Expo 2025 and the Journal of Turbomachinery. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how the review process works, and to work with a leader in the student's preferred field. Your CV/Resume is required for the application.

Requirements that applicants must meet:

  1. General consistency of the background with ASME IGTI / Gas Turbine Technology Group
  2. At least one paper published in total (peer-reviewed conference or journal)
  3. Be a PhD student (highly recommended, but exceptional master students can also apply)

The Student Advisory Committee is also looking for an exceptional candidate to take over the organization of this initiative, as the SRI Chair. As the chair of this initiative, you will be responsible for evaluating student applications for the paper review initiative, communicating with the technical committees and their chairs, and overall ensuring smooth and fruitful collaboration between the technical tracks and volunteer students. Your CV/Resume and a short motivation letter are required for the application.

Requirements that applicants must meet:

  1. Be a PhD student for the majority of time until TE25 (exceptional master students can also apply)
  2. Have at least one publication in Turbo Expo and/or related journals.
  3. Be consistently active in the IGTI community and familiar with Turbo Expo processes.
  4. Previous technical paper review experience (strongly recommended).

Application for Student Review Chair is now closed.


Thank you to the Chair of the Student Review Initiative and the student volunteers for their exceptional work in completing paper reviews for Turbo Expo 2025.
