Rosanna Diogini, Elsevier, presents Prof. Adam Steinberg, University of Toronto, the inaugural Hiroshi Tsuji Early Career Research Award at the 36th International Symposium on Combustion in Seoul, Korea
The Terms and Conditions for nominations have been released for the second annual Hiroshi Tsuji Early Career Researcher Award. The Combustion Institute and Elsevier will bestow the award and prize of US $10,000 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.
Nominations will open on 1 October 2016 and close on 15 November 2016. Both self-nominations and peer recommendations will be considered by the award committee.
The award is named after Professor Hiroshi Tsuji and his many important contributions to combustion science, most famously his invention and utilization of a stable counterflow burner configuration, the Tsuji burner. The configuration has influenced a vast number of fundamental studies and applications regarding flame structure, extinction, soot formation and other areas in laminar and turbulent combustion. It is also a foundational element for early career researchers coming to the field.
The Combustion Institute and Elsevier together developed the award to spotlight the work of early career scientists. Recognizing innovation in combustion science helps to advance fundamental understanding and enables cleaner and more efficient processes in power generation, transportation, or industrial production.
The inaugural Hiroshi Tsuji Early Career Researcher Award was bestowed upon Adam Steinberg, University of Toronto, Canada, during the 36th International Symposium on Combustion in Seoul, Korea. Professor Steinberg leads a team of researchers working in the fields of turbulent combustion, combustion dynamics, gas turbine engines, and laser diagnostics.
The selected recipient of the 2017 Hiroshi Tsuji Early Career Researcher Award will be notified by 1 April 2017. The recipient will have the option to be honored with the award during the 37th International Symposium on Combustion in Dublin, Ireland from Sunday, 29 July through Friday, 3 August 2018.
