Hiroshi Tsuji Early Career Researcher Award

The Hiroshi Tsuji Early Career Researcher Award recognizes excellence in fundamental or applied combustion science research. Co-sponsored by Elsevier and The Combustion Institute, the award and prize of US $10,000 is annually bestowed upon an early career researcher who has advanced a specific field of research within four to ten years of completing a doctoral degree or equivalent. If equally deserving candidates are presented, more than one recipient may be chosen.

The award is named after Professor Hiroshi Tsuji, whose stable porous cylinder counterflow burner configuration has influenced fundamental studies and applications in laminar and turbulent combustion.
