2023 MRE Young Scientist Award

The MRE Young Scientist Award is part of a global campaign which aims to stimulate young scholars worldwide to deliver their important, original, and innovative achievements in the fields of science and technology on matter and radiation at extremes. Held by the academic journal Matter and Radiation at Extremes, the contest has attracted audiences of thousands in its previous three iterations. This year, the 4th MRE Young Scientist Award contest will be held online via MRE Webinars, and the prize presentation will be held at ICMRE 2023.

The MRE Young Scientist Award winner receives:

• A trophy and a certificate
• Cash prize of RMB 10,000 (after individual income tax in China)
• A formal invitation to publish on MRE

Eligibility Criteria

• The applicant should be no more than 35 years old in 2023.
• The applicant should be the presenting author of original research which has not been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
• The topic of the research work should be within the scope of MRE.

Application process

The applicant must complete an extended CV personal information form and submit a summary abstract on the original research (3 pages including representative figures and references) in DOC (DOCX) or PDF format to mreeo@aip.org with subject line “Name_Institute_2023 MRE Young Scientist Award”. Recommendation letters are welcome but not essential.

Submission deadline：March 31, 2023.

Selecting process

All valid submissions will be evaluated by a jury and the shortlisted candidates will be announced no later than April 20, 2023. The candidates will be invited to present their work via MRE Webinars on May 10-11, 2023. The award winners will be selected by the jury and invited to take part in the prize presentation at ICMRE2023.

Past MRE Young Scientist Award

Congratulations to 2022 MRE Young Scientist Award Winners!

Matter and Radiation at Extremes initiated MRE Young Scientist Award in 2019 to recognize the outstanding early-career scientists to deliver their important, original and innovative achievements in the field of science and technology on matter and radiation at extreme conditions.

In 2022, YSA jury members strongly appreciated the presentations from all 9 remaining candidates at second round auditions. Deciding the final winners was a tough task as all the speakers had made excellent presentations showing highly mature skills and excellency in their recent work. The winners of the 2022 MRE Young Scientist Award (YSA) are Zheng Gong, Arnaud Colaitis and Yanhao Lin, who represent the research topics of Fundamental Physics at Extreme Light, Inertial Confinement Fusion Physics/Radiation and Hydrodynamics, and High Pressure Physics and Materials Science respectively. Congratulations to the winners!

Winners of 2022 Young Scientist Award

Zheng Gong from Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics

Presentation title: Ultrarelativistic spin-polarized plasma driven by high-intensity laser pulse

“The 2022 MRE YSA prize is awarded to Dr. Zheng GONG for his very original research in generating spin-polarized plasma using high-intensity laser interacting with novel targetry. His theory and simulation investigations lead to a new compact scheme for the controlled generation of relativistic spin-polarized electron beams which have important applications in material science, nuclear structure studies and fundamental high-energy physics. This prize also honors his exceptional publication record in the field of high-intensity laser-plasma interaction research.”

- Stefan Weber, Associate Editor of MRE

Arnaud Colaitis from Centre Lasers Intenses et Applications (CELIA)

Presentation title: 3D simulations of OMEGA implosions in presence of low mode asymmetries: systematic flow anomalies and impact of low modes on implosion performances

Dr. Arnaud Colaitis of CNRS and the CELIA collaboration in France has been selected as winner of the Materials and Radiation at Extremes award to Young Scientists for work in high energy density science of hydrodynamic and inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Dr. Colaitis and colleagues have made significant progress in modeling of direct drive ICF implosions without adjustable parameters and in excellent comparison to experiments at the Omega laser facility. His new code IFRIIT combined with ASTER correctly predicts results of low mode asymmetries leading to flow of compressing ICF targets and models the effects of Cross Beam Energy Transfer including laser beam polarization effects. This work successfully addresses some of the most significant issues in direct drive ICF and may lead to significantly improved results in this challenging endeavor pointing toward inertial fusion energy. Dr. Colaitis has also worked on Martian atmospheric turbulence and iron solar opacities signifying his versatility as a successful young scientist.”

- David Crandall, Associate Editor of MRE

Yanhao Lin from Center for High Pressure Science and Technology Advanced Research

Presentation title: Hydrous SiO2 transporting water to the core-mantle boundary

“The 2022 MRE Young Scientist Award is bestowed to Dr. Yanhao LIN for his outstanding contribution to our understanding the global water circulation mechanism in deep mantle. His high pressure-temperature experiments have revealed that stishovite, a dense form of SiO2 and a major component of the subducting basaltic slab, is capable of hosting and carrying several percent of H2O down through the mantle transition zone into the lower mantle. He has further demonstrated that stishovite transitions to denser CaCl2-type and seifertite phases can retain water all the way through the lower mantle to the core-mantle boundary at 130 GPa and 3300 K, thus completing the full mantle cycle by delivering the water directly to the source of the uprising plumes.”
