Marija Vranic awarded the IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Plasma Physics 2022

Marija Vranic, a researcher at IPFN’s Group for Lasers and Plasmas (GoLP) and invited professor at the Physics Department of Physics received the IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Plasma Physics 2022 awarded by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP)

“This is an international recognition awarded each year to a variety of disciplinary areas in physics. It is an honour to be the first person working in Portugal to receive it” says Marija. The IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Plasma Physics, which recognizes the contributions of early-career physicists with less than eight years of experience after their PhD, had never been awarded to a person affiliated with a Portuguese research institution.

IUPAP is an international organization created in 1922 in Brussels, organized and administered by the international physical community, whose mission is based on supporting the worldwide development of this area of ​​knowledge, the promotion and international cooperation in physics and assistance in its application to solve problems of interest to humanity.

The official delivery of the prize will take place at the international conference to be held by IUPAP in September.
