The annual New Mexico AVS Technical Symposium will feature Scientists and Engineers at all levels of their career with special emphasis for Students, Technologists, and Early Career Researchers. This interdisciplinary, one-day forum allows for emerging scientists and engineers to present their research and collaborate with new colleagues.  For students especially, the friendly exchange is valuable practice for future conferences and job presentations.
