IEEE Magnetics Society Best Student Paper Award

Following the establishment of this prestigious prize by the IEEE Magnetics Society in 2008, the selection of the five finalists have been made after a full review of all students entering the competition. This selection has been based solely on the likely quality/impact of the work. The five finalists will receive a cash award from the Magnetics Society as well as recognition for their achievement. The eventual winner of the award will be selected by a transnational panel of young scientists who will visit each presentation, whether poster or oral, to assess the papers according to the following criteria:

1. The quality/impact of the work
2. The student contribution and involvement in the work
3. The quality of the presentation by the student.

Each criterion will make an equal contribution to the assessment. The assessment of the panel will be overseen by the Chairman of the IEEE Magnetics Society Education Committee and the Chairman of the Honors and Awards Committee. The award will be made to the student achieving the highest overall ranking in the three criteria. 

Please note that students associated in any way with any persons involved in the selection of the finalists or the eventual winners have been declared ineligible in the competition. The students listed below are the finalists for the InterMag 2011: 

Title: Concentration of magnetic beads utilizing light-induced electroosmosis flow

Title: Ferromagnetic resonance driven by current-induced torque in uniform ferromagnetic nano-structures

Title: Ultrafast decoupling of magnetization dynamics in Permalloys

Title: Enhanced B2 ordering of FeRh thin films using B2 NiAl underlayers

Title: Electrical control of permanent and reversible 90° magnetization reorientation in layered magnetoelectric laminate
