About the Symposium

The UC Santa Barbara Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Symposium is a one-day forum for graduate students to present their research. The event is designed to provide a networking opportunity between industrial attendees and members of the department with two main goals:

  1. Highlight ongoing work in the department to stimulate industrial collaborations
  2. Facilitate interactions with students seeking future employment opportunities 

The symposium consists of oral presentations given by senior graduate students throughout the day. In addition, graduate students of all years participate in a poster session. Industrial attendees will receive an email drive containing the abstracts and CVs of presenting students to enable future connections. The Graduate Student Symposium is held in collaboration with the Chemistry Career Symposium, which takes place the day before.
