Dr. Andrea Martini Receives SILS Young Scientist Award 2024

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Andrea Martini, a post-doc in the Operando Hard X-ray Spectroscopy group led by Dr. Janis Timoshenko at the Interface Science Department of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, has been honored with the prestigious SILS Young Scientist Award 2024.

The award, presented by the Italian Synchrotron Radiation Society (SILS), recognizes outstanding contributions to synchrotron radiation methods, techniques, and applications. This accolade is awarded to scientists within seven years of obtaining their Ph.D. (or equivalent) degree, highlighting the early career achievements of Dr. Martini.
