Attending a conference is a great way to get your new research out to the community, see cutting edge research from around the world, and make professional connections that can boost your career prospects. However, airfare and hotels aren’t free, so this week we will be discussing various grant opportunities for travel funding. We will cover a number of funding opportunities available to graduate students in acoustics, including grants from the Acoustical Society of America and UT Austin.

External funding opportunities include government and endowed fellowships that can pay your tuition and stipend so that your adviser doesn’t have to! Having your own money is a great way to take control of your graduate career and give you the freedom to pursue the research that interests you most.
We will discuss a number of funding opportunities available to graduate students in acoustics. Focus will be on the NDSEG, SMART, NSF, and Hertz Fellowships.
The slides from the meeting are available here.
We are pleased to announce the first installment in this semester’s Acoustical Ask-Me-Anything series! Professor Christophe Schram is professor of Aeronautics and Aerospace at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Belgium. He is currently a visiting professor here at UT through the end of September. For more on Dr. Schram, see his faculty web page.
