Muhammad Irfan, a PhD student with CEE, has claimed first prize at the National Graduate Student Speaker Competition hosted by the Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS).
Established in 1988, the Graduate Student Presentation Award encourages, recognizes and rewards excellence in presentations of papers by geotechnical graduate students from universities across Canada every year. The purpose of the award is to encourage graduate students to make formal technical presentations to peer and professional audiences.
The award is assessed on the basis of a videotaped presentation of maximum 15 minutes duration, recorded before a live technical audience. A question-and-answer period following the presentation is also recorded. The winner of the award gets an opportunity to make a 30-minute presentation on the topic to the conference delegates during the annual Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) conference.
A presentation ceremony will be held at the Canadian Geotechnical Society annual conference in Vancouver.
Congratulations Muhammad!
