Today we congratulate Ezio for being selected as one of five finalists for the Best Student Presentation Award of Intermag 2014! Ezio will present his recent work "Fine-tuning the energy landscape of localized spin wave modes in elliptical nanocontact spin torque oscillators".

During the conference, a panel of experts in magnetism will view and  judge each finalist's presentation.  The panel will select one winner based on the following criteria:

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

The Awards and Plenary Session which will be held at the  conference at 4:00 pm on May 7 (Wednesday).  All the finalists will be  honored in this session.  The winner will receive an award of $1000,  and each remaining finalist will receive an award of $250.

Today we congratulate Sohrab for being invited to Intermag 2014 to present his recent work on mutually synchronized nano-contact spin torque oscillators fabricated using his novel colloidal lithography technique [1].
