Call for Nominations

2024 Elsevier/JQSRT Richard M. Goody Award

This prestigious Elsevier/JQSRT young-scientist award is named after Richard M. Goody whose pioneering research has had a profound and long- lasting impact on the disciplines of atmospheric radiation, remote sensing, and climate science.

 

The 2024 Goody Award will be competed among outstanding early-career scientists who work in the fields of Atmospheric Radiation and Remote Sensing. The award will be presented at the 21st Electromagnetic and Light Scattering Conference (ELS-XXI). The conference venue and time will be announced later. The award will consist of a certificate and monetary prize of 500 USD.

 

To qualify for consideration, a nominee:

-          Must be a graduate or post-graduate student or in his/her early career path with an outstanding record of scholarship;

-          Must have not received any JQSRT Young Scientist Award previously;

-          Should have published in JQSRT previously, although this requirement may be relaxed in exceptional cases. This requirement is one of the award selection criteria, as this award is an Elsevier/JQSRT award;

-          Should be under 37 years of age on 1 July 2024 or finished his/her PhD within the 10 years preceding that date;

-          Must present at least one paper at ELS-XXI and attend the award ceremony.

-          The award recipient will be invited to publish an invited awardee paper in JQSRT.

 

The recipient of the 2024 Goody Award will be selected by a distinguished Award Committee, and the award certificate will be presented at the award ceremony during the ELS-XXI conference.

 

Each nomination package should be submitted, as a single PDF file, to Prof. Ping Yang, at pyang@tamu.edu, Dr. Gorden Videen at gorden.videen@gmail.com, and Prof. M. Pinar Menguc at pinar.menguc@ozyegin.edu.tr by 28 June 2024 (Friday) and should consist of a nomination letter, the nominee’s CV and publications list, up to 5 best peer-reviewed journal papers, and up to     3 letters of support.

 

2024 Elsevier/JQSRT Peter C. Waterman Award

This prestigious Elsevier/JQSRT young-scientist award is named after Peter C. Waterman (1928 - 2012) whose ground-breaking research has had a dramatic and long-lasting impact and to a large degree has guided the progress in the disciplines of electromagnetic, acoustic, and elastic wave scattering by obstacles.

 

The 2024 Waterman Award will be competed among outstanding early-career scientists who work on the theory and applications of Electromagnetic Scattering. The award will be presented at the 21st Electromagnetic and Light Scattering Conference (ELS-XXI). The conference venue and time will be announced later. The award will consist of a certificate and monetary prize of 500 USD.

 

To qualify for consideration, a nominee:

-          Must be a graduate or post-graduate student or in his/her early career path with an outstanding record of scholarship;
