Congratulations!
All registered student attendees of PAG Australia were invited to submit a poster abstract for review by the Organizing Committee, who selected abstracts for presentation at the PAG Australia 2023 conference. Due to the high quality of the submissions, an additional 3 abstracts were selected, for a total of 8 winners, as listed below.
The selected students will each receive a refund of their PAG Australia 2023 registration fee, and give a 15-minute presentation of their research in the Student Workshop during the conference. This workshop is managed by Organizing Committee member Kwan-Suk Kim, and will take place on Friday 22 September.
