During the 7th Southeast Asia Conference on Thermoelectrics (SACT2022), held in Thailand, from 7th to 8th December 2022, the C2TN PhD student Rodrigo Coelho won the Best Oral Presentation award for the contribution entitled “Tethahedrite Based Thermoelectric Generators: Study and Characterization of Electrical Contacts”.
Major Luís Marques, member of C2TN and PhD student at IST, received the Armed Forces Innovation Award 2022 with the work Gamma radiation detection system, beta particles and neutrons coupled to a multirotor for inspection of maritime containers and detection, location and identification of radioactive sources and materials.
The Armed Forces Innovation Award aims to promote innovation, improve capabilities and planning, following the evolution of research and development activities in the area of military sciences and defence technologies and, at the same time, promote a closer connection between the Armed Forces, the industry and the academic community.
This year the award was dedicated to "Autonomous Systems", including air, land, surface or submersible maritime systems, control or decision support platforms, with applicability in military operations and/or in support of civil emergency operations.
Congratulations to Major Luís Marques for reaching the 1st place in this prestigious award, as well as the supervisors Dr. Pedro Vaz and Prof. Alberto Vale (IPFN and DEEC).
During the 24th International Conference on Ion Beam Analysis, held in Antibes, France, from the 13th to the 18th of October 2019, the C2TN researcher Ulrich Wahl won one of the Elsevier poster award for the contribution entitled "Lattice location of Be and Mg in GaN: Exploring the acceptor doping limits".
