The ALICE Collaboration in meeting on the occasion of the ALICE Thesis Awards Ceremony

Group picture the ALICE experiment collaboration in meeting on the occasion of ALICE Thesis Awards Ceremony during the July ALICE Week. Since 2008, ALICE Thesis awards are given once a year for the most outstanding PhD thesis by members of the ALICE Collaboration in the field of physics and instrumentation. The awards celebrate the excellence of young researchers at ALICE and the importance of their work in the physics world. The selection is made by a committee appointed by the ALICE Collaboration Board. This year ALICE Thesis Award 2023 (12 July 2023) was awarded to Dr. Rita Sadek (Laboratoire Subatech, France) for the thesis on “MFT commissioning and preparation for Run 3 data analysis with ALICE (LHC, CERN)”. Rita is now a PostDoc with the LHCb collaboration at LLR Palaiseau and Dr. Luuk Vermunt (Utrecht University, Netherlands) for the thesis on “Hadronisation of heavy quarks - Production measurements of heavy-flavour hadrons from small to large collision systems”. Luuk is now a PostDoc with ALICE at GSI Darmstadt).
