This award will be given to students (undergraduate or graduate) who have excelled in the area of Atomic Spectroscopy. Students selected for this award will be required to present their work as an oral presentation at the 2026 SciX conference (October 4-9, 2026, in Sparks, NV, USA). The award will come with travel assistance (≥ $500) and a 2-year SAS membership after graduation. To apply or recommend a student, please submit the following materials: 1) Letter of recommendation from the student’s advisor, 2) student’s CV, and 3) scientific abstract for work they would present if chosen. Documents should be emailed to Derrick Quarles and Benjamin Manard at info@iasa.world no later than March 6, 2026, with award winners being notified in early April.
