SHINE 2023 Poster Winners and Student Poll

Hello from your SHINE Student Representatives,

We hope everyone is doing well post-conference; the last days of summer, the first days of a new academic year, and SPD (for those who attended) went well. We wanted to thank all of you for your contribution to making SHINE Student Day and the conference as a whole so successful. Once again, we’d like to congratulate all of our Outstanding Poster Contest finalists and announce the winners from each working group:

WG1: Catherine Blume “Characterizing Rossby Waves in solar interior simulations”

Tania Varesano “SPICE Connection Mosaics to Link the Sun’s Surface and the Heliosphere”

WG2: Aniket Jivani “Toward Uncertainty Quantification for Synthetic White Light Images in the Space Weather Modeling Framework”

Dinesha Hodge “Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of the Coronal Mass Ejection on August 20, 2018, and Interaction with the Solar Wind”

WG3: Mailk Walker “Radial Evolution of CME-associated particle acceleration

observed by Solar Orbiter and ACE”

WG4: Daniel Wrench “What is the Reynolds Number of the Solar Wind?”

We congratulate these students on their outstanding work!

SHINE is constantly aiming to improve to become the best conference possible. In order to do that, we ask for your input on how we can improve SHINE and, more specifically, SHINE Student Day. If you attended Student Day, we ask you to fill out the following survey so that we can take your opinions into account when designing future SHINE Student Days. Your responses will be completely anonymous, so please give us your full and honest opinions. In particular, if you have any comments/suggestions on the poster contest, they would be appreciated!

Thank you all again for your participation in the 2023 SHINE workshop and Student Day. We wish you all the best in your studies and research this year and look forward to seeing you at next year’s SHINE workshop.

Finally, Lisa Winters, on behalf of NSF, wanted to make sure that all of the students who attended SHINE were reminded that the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) applications are open and due October 20, 2023 (for chemistry, geosciences, mathematical sciences, physics and astronomy). The NSF GRFP is open to first and second-year graduate students. Please check the links below for more information.
