  6. Applications for the fellowship awards must be submitted not later than September 1, 2022.

Eligibility

  1. Applicant must have a BS/BA in engineering, applied physics, computer science or other appropriate field from an accredited institution of higher learning.
  2. Applicant must be enrolled in an MS/MSc or PhD program as a full‐time student in an accredited, degree-granting institution of higher learning.
  3. Applicant must be engaged in research necessary for the degree program, not just course work.
  4. Research work must clearly be in the quantum electromagnetics area, supervised by a full‐time faculty member.
  5. Applicant and faculty supervisor must both be members of AP-S.
  6. There are no restrictions as to citizenship or location of the institution. This award is open to students from around the world.

Award Winner Responsibilities

  1. The award winner will provide: the research plan title and abstract, university affiliation, the advisor’s name and e-mail address, the anticipated date of graduation, the URL to the winner’s professional web page, LinkedIn or similar page, and a photograph (headshot). This information is for use in the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine and AP-S webpages.
  2. At the end of the twelve-month grant period, the winner will prepare a one‐page report summarizing the outcomes of the project (including referencing any publications that may have resulted in part from the fellowship project work, an impression about having attended the AP-S/URSI symposium, etc. …), and indicating his/her next career plans. This report will replace the research plan abstract on the above-mentioned web pages.
  3. The winner will provide a contact e‐mail address to the fellowship chair for a period of three years after the fellowship, such that the fellowship chair may ask for input on an annual basis to track the career path of the fellowship recipient.

Application

Max. file size: 5 MB.
NOTE: The file to be uploaded should be one PDF file, grouping the following documents:
