Riccardo Ferrazzoli e Elenia Pacetti dell'IAPS were honoured at the SAIT congress for the quality of their PhD theses.
Riccardo was awarded by SAIT with the prestigious G.F. Bignami 2024 Prize (a joint SAIT-SIF prize) for his work within the IXPE project ‘for his relevant contributions both technological and scientific to high-energy astrophysics with the study of X-ray radiation polarisation in the IXPE mission, which led, in particular, to the observation of new phenomena in supernova remnants.’
Elenia was awarded a special mention by the Commission of the prestigious Pietro Tacchini Prize 2024 for her work on the connections between the atmospheres of giant exoplanets and the characteristics of the protoplanetary disks in which they formed.
Congratulations!
