IBM Student Awards were established in 2005. IBM T.J. Watson Research Center is a sponsor of these student awards.
These awards were given in the odd years when the symposiums were held in Storrs until 2017. The winners of IBM student awards from 2005-2017 can be found from here.
Starting 2018, IBM Student Awards will be given every year, as one of the primary student awards of the New England Statistical Society.
Students need to submit papers for one of these awards before the symposium each year. The winners will be selected by the IBM award committee based on the overall quality of the research, and they will be acknowledged at the symposium and will receive a plaque in honor of their accomplishments. Please note that award winners from previous years are not eligible for another award.
To apply, the following must be emailed to chair of the IBM award committee:
- Personal Information:
- Name
- Affiliation/University
- Mailing address
- Email address
- Name(s) of advisor(s)
- Title of paper
- Attachments:
- Curriculum Vitae
- The paper (in both blinded and unblinded PDF files)
- Verification:
- An email or letter from the major professor (advisor) verifying the student status of the candidate and briefly describing the candidate's role in the research and writing of the paper.
The deadline of submission will be announced on the symposium website each year.
