Prizes > IUPAP prizeEarly Career Scientist Prizes, sponsored by IUPAP Prof. Ursel Fantz will represent IUPAP during the conference Early Career Scientist Prizes (previous Young Scientist Prizes) recognize the contributions of early career physicists within the subfields of each Commission. Successful candidates will have up to 8 years of research experience following Ph.D. (excluding career interruptions). Each commission can give up to three awards over three years (these can be one per year or all three awarded together). The award consists of a certificate, medal, and monetary award. A presentation will take place at an international conference sponsored by the commission.
Early Career Scientist Prize for the Commission on Plasma Physics (C16) for the year 2022 is awarded to
Dr Marija VranicMarija Vranic obtained her MSc degree from University of Belgrade, Serbia and her PhD at Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon, Portugal. After PhD, she was working in Extreme Light Infrustructure in Prague, Czech Republic, and then returned to Portugal. Her research is focused on plasmas in extreme conditions, where quantum effects can affect the collective plasma dynamics. She combines analytical theory and massively parallel computer simulations to perform the studies relevant for state-of-the-art and near-future laser experiments using the most intense lasers in the world. Marija is a winner of the international John Dawson PhD thesis prize (best PhD thesis in the field of plasma-based accelerators), the IBM Scientific Prize and Ada Lovelace PRACE award. Her citation reads: Outstanding contributions on the understanding of the interplay between classical and quantum effects in extreme ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions, on the underlying computational methods, and on the applications for plasma-based secondary sources of energetic particles. |
