Congratulations to our 2023 Poster Pitch and Poster Winners!

CISTAR Congratulates the following students for their outstanding poster pitch and posters at the 2023 CISTAR Biannual Meeting.

At CISTAR's biannual meetings, our graduate fellows showcase their research through 90-second poster pitch presentations. These presentations challenge students to quickly and effectively communicate their research problem, solution, and its broader impact. The pitch also evaluates visual presentation quality and the presenter's confidence. The student's posters were also evaluated separately for their clarity and design. 

The top presenter from this fall's competition will represent CISTAR at the ERC Biennal Meeting in 2024. Congratulations to the following standout CISTAR Fellows!
