2025 IDIES Annual Symposium—Call for Posters
The Institute for Data-Intensive Engineering and Science (IDIES) is seeking poster submissions for the 2025 IDIES Annual Symposium at the Scott-Bates Commons on Thursday, October 16th, 2025.
Entrants are required to hang their posters at or during the first morning break of the symposium. Easels, poster boards, and clips will be provided. Additionally, the entrant is responsible for delivering a 2-minute lightning talk during the symposium.
Entrants participating in the juried poster contest must also submit a digital version of their poster before 11:59pm Monday October 13 to be considered. This is in addition to the printed poster that will be appear in the gallery.
Eligibility
The poster session is open to all IDIES members. You may register your poster at any time prior to 11:59 Monday, October 13, but must have applied for, or received, IDIES membership before the event on October 16. Membership information and applications may be found here.
Poster entrants must also register to attend the event, which can be done so on the symposium event page.
Current Summer Student Fellowship and Seed Funding recipients are not eligible for consideration for the award with their IDIES-funded project poster, but may enter with a second poster covering a different research project.
Poster Specs and Requirements
Posters must be printed, as well as submitted digitally for consideration in the poster contest.
IDIES will provide poster boards, easels, and clips.
Posters should reflect the IDIES mission (https://www.idies.jhu.edu/about/#values) of furthering data-intensive and computationally intensive research and education. The area of research may be in any discipline that would be of interest to IDIES members and other attendees as long as the methodology or analysis pertains to the use of Big Data.
In order to register your poster, you will need to provide the poster title and a 100-200 word abstract. Each poster presenter will deliver a 2-minute lightning talk summarizing their research during the IDIES poster segment prior to the poster gallery walk during lunch intermission.
Best Poster Award
IDIES will present an award for the Best Poster at the symposium.
The poster session will take place prior to the lunch break starting at 12:40 PM; registrants are strongly encouraged to attend the rest of the symposium talks.
Judges will use the following scoring guidelines to select this year’s best poster:

Analyzing energy cascade of filtered vortices using a novel turbulence database framework
(HANXUN YAO) Turbulence exists widely in nature and engineering. It is unpredictable due to its feature of being chaotic. One of the important phenomenon of turbulence is called energy cascade; it describes energy is extracted from large-scale eddies, then transfer to smaller scale eddies, and finally dissipate due to viscous effects. In this work, we use the Karman-Howarth-Monin-Hill (KHMH) equation to explore possible correlation between energy cascade and features of large-scale motions (e.g., filtered vorticity and strain rate).
