Muhammad
Talal secured SPIE
Student Travel Grant 2017
On behalf of SPIE and the Symposium and Conference Chairs of Defense + Commercial Sensing
(DCS)2017, Muhammad was awarded an SPIE Student Travel Grant in the amount of $600 USD
to present my paper # 10188-20 at Anaheim, California, USA. This
assisted him to travel and present his research at one of the biggest
and prestigious SPIE platform.
SPIE is an international society
for optics and photonics. The Society offers a small number of
supplemental travel grants to eligible and selected full time student
authors who plan to present their accepted papers at SPIE conferences
and meeting. Each grant is intended to partially reimburse travel
expenses (airfare, ground transportation, and/or hotel). Grants
typically range from $300-$750 USD per international traveler. Moreover,
applicants are judged on financial need and merit. |
