This Award was granted to one of the Ph.D. candidates attending the 3rd AIMSEA Turbomachinery Symposium, held on 8 July 2022 in Bergamo (Italy), an event that gathered all scientists from the Italian universities working in the fields of turbomachinery, propulsion, and power generation. The award was granted in recognition of the presentation of the topic, as well as its readability, layout, and design.

Background

Condensing comprehensively the outcome of multiple years of research in a finite space is, by itself, a very challenging task. Through a poster session, Ph.D. candidates were requested to undertake a major effort to represent the key ingredients and outcomes of their studies so that an appraisal of their achievements could be completed by a reviewing team. A short presentation of the poster had to accompany the exhibition.

Awarding Procedure

All Ph.D. students working in turbomachinery propulsion and power had been invited to submit a summary of their achievements in the form of a poster. A Technical Committee evaluated all of the posters and attended a 5–minute presentation by the candidates, which was followed by a 5–minute colloquium. The Committee completed a short table detailing the criteria reported below.

The Award

The awardee received a parchment, certificate, and a CHF 500 allowance offered by MDPI. In addition, they enjoy a full discount on the Article Processing Charge that can be used to publish, subject to peer–review first, a full research manuscript of their Ph.D. work in the International Journal of Turbomachinery Propulsion and Power (IJTPP, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijtpp).
