Dear all
It is with enormous pleasure I can announce the winners of this year’s awards. These awards are given to the most active contributors (Early Career Researchers, excluding CoSeC staff members) to our community, covering anything from software,
training, participation on mailing lists/GitHub, hackathons, event co-organisation etc. Past awards can be found at
http://www.ccpsynerbi.ac.uk/taxonomy/term/11 .
We found it particularly hard this year as we had many people quite active, see also below. In the end, the SyneRBI Executive Committee decided to recognise the following individuals for their contributions this year:
Gold: Daniel Deidda (NPL) £400
For contributions to STIR for SPECT, PET block detectors and quantification, and assistance with our training schools
Silver: Johannes Mayer (PTB) £200
For continued contributions to SIRF for improved MR handling
Bronze: Zeljko Kereta (UCL) £100
For contributions towards stochastic
optimisation algorithms and
co-organisation of the 2022
workshop on modern image reconstruction methods in medical imaging.
We’d also like to thank the following for their help (in no particular order):
Note that
Claire received joint first prize for the annual CoSeC Impact Award in May.
Of course, SyneRBI wouldn’t work without the CoSeC staff, so many thanks to Evgueni Ovtchinnikov, Edoardo Pasca, Evangelos Papoutsellis and Gemma Fardell, with special mention of Vaggelis who is now Senior Research Scientist at Finden
Ltd, but still contributing to CIL.
A huge congratulations to this year’s winners. For everyone else, you know what to do to win next year
😊!
