Doctoral Consortium Papers

The Doctoral Consortium is a forum for students who are well into their Ph.D. research and who would like a chance to get feedback and advice from the Doctoral Consortium committee. Submissions, up to 6 pages in length in the conference style), should include original and unpublished descriptions of the PhD student’s topic, proposed contributions, and results achieved so far. They should indicate clearly the work that remains to be done and the questions on which the student would especially like to get advice.

These papers will appear in the UMAP Adjunct Proceedings. Presentations in the Doctoral Consortium will be 20 minutes in length, including discussion.

Note that there is a special student registration fee, which is less than half of the normal registration fee, and that some financial support for student attendees is available. For more information, see the Registration Page.
