Dear Colleagues,
As Editor-in-Chief of Minerals, I am pleased to announce the winners of the 2020 Minerals Travel Awards.
The Travel Awards were granted to three winners:
Dr. Ahmad Hassanzadeh’s research focuses on coupling fundamental, theoretical, and experimental aspects of mineral processing to industrial applications. He holds a Ph.D. and Post-Doc in mineral processing engineering with three years experience in a copper beneficiation plant. Ahmad will present his most recent results at the XXX IMPC (Cape Town, South Africa).
Dr. Francesco Izzo is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Naples Federico II (DiSTAR). His research is currently focused on the mineralogical and petrographic characterization of exotic, imitation, and traditional ceramic productions from Cumae and other archaeological sites of Southern Italy. The results of his research will be presented at the 43rd International Symposium on Archaeometry (Lisbon, Portugal).
Dr. Gloria Belén Ramírez-Rodríguez, postdoctoral researcher with the BioNanoMetals group at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Granada (Spain). Her research focuses on devising innovative nano-structured materials inspired in bone biomineralization with potential application in several fields from bone regeneration and drug delivery to sustainable agriculture. She will present her most recent work at the World Biomaterials Congress (WBC2020, Glasgow, U.K.).
The awards consist of 800 Swiss Francs each to attend any academic conference within the next two years.
