One year fellowships will be awarded to promote, recognize, and support PhD/ Masters level study and research within the Electron Devices Society’s field of interest. The field of interest for EDS is in all aspects of engineering, physics, theory, experiment and simulation of electron and ion devices involving insulators, metals, organic materials, plasmas, semiconductors, quantum-effect materials, vacuum, and emerging materials. Specific applications of these devices include bioelectronics, biomedical, computation, communications, displays, electro, and micromechanics, imaging, microactuators, optical, photovoltaics, power, sensors and signal processing. Fellowships are expected to be awarded to eligible students in each of the following geographical regions for 2018: Americas, Europe/ Middle East/ Africa, and Asia Pacific. Only one candidate can win per educational institution.

Masters Student Fellowship
Prize: US$2,000 and a plaque to the student, to be presented by the Dean or Department head of the student’s enrolled graduate program.

Eligibility: Candidate must be an IEEE EDS student member at the time of nomination; be accepted into a graduate program or within the first year of study in a graduate program in an EDS field of interest on a full-time basis, and continue his/her studies at a graduate education institution. The nominator must be an IEEE EDS member and preferably be serving as the candidate’s mentor or faculty advisor. Previous award winners are ineligible.

Basis for Judging: Demonstration of his/her significant ability to perform research in the fields of electron devices, a proven history of academic excellence in engineering and/or physics involvement in undergraduate research and/or a supervised project.

Nomination Package:
