Alyona Ivanova wins MESA+ Best Poster Award 2009

01 October 2009 

An important part of the annual MESA+ conference, in which both MESA+ scientists and external visitors exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere, is the Best Poster contest. This year's first prize for the Best Poster was won by Alyona Ivanova, together with her co-authors Remco Stoffer, Lasse Kauppinen and Manfred Hammer. Ivanova works at the Applied Analysis and Mathematical Physics research group of the faculty of EEMCS.

The winning poster displays dimensionality reduction in the simulation of the behaviour of light in microstructures. This technique has the potential to significantly reduce the effort needed to design optical sensors and fiber-optic communication chips. Ivanova has received a cheque for € 1000 as a reward.
