The ANS Sushil C. Jain YMG Pitch Your Thesis Competition will be held in conjunction with this year’s ANS Annual Conference. The competition is open to graduate students in nuclear engineering. Participants will have three minutes and a single (technical) slide to present their research and communicate its significance to a broad audience of peers. Presentations will be judged on clarity, impact, and engagement, with attendees voting to help determine the best pitches. Winners will receive a monetary award and will be invited to publish a summary of their work in ANS News. The first-place winner will also have the opportunity to deliver a webinar hosted by the ANS Young Members Group.
