2009 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference Awards Comments by the Chairman

It is a longstanding tradition of the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) to honor the Outstanding Conference Paper and the Outstanding Data Workshop Presentation. In recent years recognition has also been given to the best paper presented and first-authored by an IEEE Student Member. The awards process not only rewards authors for particularly high quality and important work, but also encourages all authors to produce presentations and manuscripts of high technical quality, clarity of presentation, and significance to the community.
