Michael Hatzon—2025 URSI Young Scientist
Michael Hatzon, PhD student, successfully applied for the International Union of Radio Science: Student Paper Competition and attended the conference in Sydney in August. He was awarded the International Union of Radio Science: Young Scientist Award, as well as having his paper for the competition accepted for publication in their journal: Radio Science Letters.
The Young Scientist Awards are presented at the General Assemblies of URSI and at the URSI Atlantic Radio Science Conferences (AT-RASC) to recognize an international group of individuals who have made innovative contributions and discoveries in multidiscipline research related to electromagnetic fields and waves.
The General Assemblies of URSI and the URSI Atlantic Radio Science Conferences (AT-RASC) are both held every three years (interleaved with each other) to review current research trends, present new discoveries and make plans for future research and special projects in all areas of radio science, especially where international cooperation is desirable.
The Young Scientist Awards are presented at the occasion of the Young Scientists Party at the URSI Flagship events. This is an informal networking event where the Young Scientists can meet with each other but also with the more senior members in URSI, such as URSI Board members, URSI Commission Chairs, Vice-Chairs and ECRs.
