We are very excited to present to you the three winners of the ASP2024 Alumni Online Presentation.
This edition, 18 alumni of ASP2024 competed for the ASP Alumni Online Presentation Awards. On the basis of the evaluations of all contributed oral presentations by the assigned judges, we have selected three award winners for their outstanding presentations on high-impact work representing significant advances in the field of fundamental physics and its applications. Each winner is allocated € 1,000 towards participating in the African Conference on Fundamental and Applied Physics (ACP) by giving an invited or contributed talk. In exceptional cases, participation in similar events talking in Africa —or travels for physics research or education purposes— will be considered. This award is not given in cash; the recipient may claim the award by contacting the ASP-IOC, as long as he/she is still a student or post-doc in an accredited institution.
The three winners are:
- Rajae Sammani, Mohammed V University, Morocco
- Fatma Ezzahra Dhif, University of Tunis El Manar, Tunisia
- Obed Maniraguha, University of Rwanda, Rwanda
“Thank you for this incredible experience and for the countless opportunities this program has offered. From the very beginning, starting with the school, it has been a truly enriching event on so many levels. It allowed me to explore new physics areas which incited exciting potential intersections with my own work, connect with inspiring people, and form cherished friendships. Extending this wonderful journey and providing us with the chance to present our own work as young researchers has been invaluable, and I am sincerely grateful for this recognition. Thank you for everything.”
