More About Doctoral Consortium Program
Participating Ph.D. students will have the opportunity to both present their research work and interact with senior academic and industry people in an informal setting. In addition, there will be mentoring sessions to help students improve communication skills, obtain valuable information for career planning, get familiar with a few of the trendy research topics, and make valuable contacts - all while enjoying the HPDC main conference and many associated workshops. The Doctoral Consortium will be scheduled so that the participating students can follow all the main scientific and social events of the conference, and it is open to all Ph.D. students, including the authors of papers presented at the conference.
Tentative Schedule:
| Day | Time | Activity |
| Tuesday | Morning Break | Introduction and icebreakers |
| Tuesday | Afternoon Break | Workshop on poster presentation skills |
| Wednesday | Morning Break | Panel on research and career planning |
| Wednesday | Evening | Poster Session and Banquet |
| Thursday | Morning Break | Student Feedback and program evaluation |
Workshop on poster presentation skills offers a chance for everyone to give a 3 minute talk about their poster and gain feedback from both the mentors and their peers. The goal is to be positive about the poster and provide constructive comments on both the poster material organization as well as the quick presentation.
Panel on research and career planning will include representatives from academia, research laboratories (non-industry), and industry. After a short presentation from each about what their job entails and why you might consider it, attendees are open to ask any questions to help guide what decision is the right one for them.
Students are encouraged to engage with conference attendees during the paper sessions. Making connections that help incorporate attendees into the community are an important additional goal. Mentoring aid, including introductions if necessary, will be offered to assist the process.
To participate in the Doctoral Consortium , students are expected to submit a poster to the poster track as the leading author. This is required as part of the presentation skills since every student will present their poster to friendly peers to get feedback prior to the whole conference poster event. We are less concerned that the poster represents new work than we are that the student get experience presenting material they are knowledgeable about to gain skills and confidence with speaking with establish members of the community.Poster/Doctoral Consortium Co-Chairs
