Our Ph.D. graduate Azadeh Didari is the second woman honored by the Elsevier/JQSRT Viskanta Young Scientist Award over the last decade

Our Ph.D. graduate Azadeh Didari was honored by the Elsevier/JQSRT Viskanta Young Scientist Award. Azadeh received her Ph.D. from the Electrical-Electronics Engineering Department at Özyeğin University in 2016 under the mentorship of Prof. M. Pınar Mengüç, Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department, and Director of CEEE, and is currently working as a post-doc researcher at CEEE. Azadeh is also one of the developers of the world’s most advanced software programs in the field of “Near-Field Radiative Heat Transfer”. The software program offers new methods to calculate how to maximize radiative heat transfer through nano-scale geometric and material changes.These new calculation methods will lead to the design of new energy harvesting and measurement systems.

The award is conferred annually on a distinguished young researcher. The award also marks a distinctive achievement, for Azadeh is the second woman researcher who have been honored with this award over the last decade. The first woman researcher who have been presented this award in the last decade was again from Turkey.

The news was announced in the Editorials page of the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer (JQSRT).
