Posters

The Poster Session will be held on the evenings of Tuesday, February 14 and Wednesday, February 15 following the afternoon sessions in the lobby (1st floor) of the Bigelow Physics Building. All posters will be on display for both evenings and a Reception will be held each evening in conjunction with the Poster Session.

Information for Presenters

Each poster is to be no larger than 4 x 4 ft (1.2 x 1.2 m). Each poster presenter is responsible for hanging and removing his/her own poster materials. Posters can be hung beginning at 8:00 AM on Tuesday and must be removed by 7:30 PM on Wednesday. Push pins and tape will be provided. Each poster has been assigned a code by topic area. To find the code assigned to your poster, find the last name of the submitting author of the abstract and the title as listed in the table below. Last names of submitting authors are sorted by alphabetical order. Code information will be displayed in the lobby of the Bigelow Physics Building to indicate the location for each poster.
