The 3rd Annual MIPSE Graduate Student Symposium took place on October 3, 2012, at Michigan State University. The symposium included a special presentation by Prof. Konrad Gelbke of MSU titled "From NSCL (National Superconducting Cyclotron Facility) to FRIB (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams) at MSU". We had 24 posters presented by UM students, 12 posters presented by MSU students, 4 posters presented by visiting students from Pusan National University (Korea), and one poster presented by Prof. Hiroyuki Kousaka, visiting scholar from Nagoya University, Japan.
Best Presentation Award
The MIPSE judges (Prof. Jes Asmussen, Prof. Andrew Christlieb, and Prof. Yue Ying Lau) had quite a challenging task in selecting from the many outstanding presentations. After their deliberations, Best Presentation Award winners were:
- Kentaro Hara (UM)
- Peiyao Liu (MSU)
- Wei Tian (UM)
The winners received a MIPSE mug, award certificate, and a plasma book of their choice.

The 2nd MIPSE Graduate Student Symposium successfully took place on September 21, 2011, including a special presentation by Dr. Kim Budil of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The Symposium stands out not only for the excellent student poster presentations, but also for being the first joint UM/Michigan State University MIPSE event. We had 30 posters presented by UM students (from EECS, NERS, Aerospace Engineering, AOSS, Mechanical Engineering, and Applied Physics) and 9 posters presented by MSU students.

1st Annual MIPSE Graduate Student Symposium
The 1st MIPSE Graduate Student Symposium took place on September 29, 2010, and by any measure was a success. The Symposium began with remarks by Dean Munson and an excellent seminar by Bruce Remington of LLNL. We then enjoyed four equally excellent talks by our students, followed by our inspiring poster session. We had participation by students from EECS, NERS, Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, AOSS, Mechanical Engineering, and Applied Physics who presented 4 talks and 28 posters. The discussions surrounding the posters were vigorous!
