AWARDS
The Eastern State Section offers three awards:
Irvin Glassman Young Investigator Lecture
This award recognizes a young investigator within seven years of their Ph.D. or in their first five years of a tenure-track faculty appointment. The awardee gives an invited lecture at the Eastern States Technical Meeting.
Nominations open for 2020!
Nominations for the 6th Irvin Glassman Young Investigator Award and Lecture are requested by January 15, 2020 for the 2020 Spring Technical Meeting of the Eastern States Section of the Combustion Institute to be held March 8-11, 2020 on the University of South Carolina campus in Columbia, SC. Additional information on the meeting is available at https://www.essci.org/conferences/.
At the time of the nomination due date, nominees must be a young investigator within seven years (degree received after Jan. 15th 2013) of their Ph.D. and, for tenure-track faculty appointments, the nominee must be untenured by the time of application. Nominations and/or self-nominations should consist of a nomination letter and CV for the nominee highlighting their contributions, including publications, in the combustion field. The nominee should be affiliated with an institution in the Eastern States at the time of the nomination. The awardee will receive waived registration, a travel award of up to $1000 to attend the ESS meeting, and a $500 honorarium to give the Irvin Glassman Lecture as one of the plenary or invited topical talks.
Please send nominations no later than January 15th, 2020 to the awards committee at c/o Wenting Sun.
