DA Bo, a doctoral student at USTC, won the Best Poster Award at the 6th International Symposium on Surface Science (ISSS-6) held in Tokyo on December 11-15. His work, “A Reverse Monte Carlo Method for Extraction of Energy Loss Function Data from an Experimental REELS Spectrum”, was highly acclaimed and received the third most votes for a prize.
ISSS, internationally influential for nano-, bio- and green innovation, is held by the Surface Science Society of Japan every three years. About 700 scholars from over 30 countries participated in ISSS-6. 10 Best Poster Awards were granted by public vote to young scientists under the age of 35 who have done excellent work in the field of surface science. The award ceremony was held during a banquet on Dec. 13, when DA Bo received his award, medal and prize money from Professor Seizo Morita, President of the Surface Science Society of Japan, , Tomihiro Hashizume, Chair of the Steering Committee of ISSS-6, and Satoshi Watanabe, Chair of the Program Committee of ISSS-6.
DA Bo had won the First Student Award with his work “Modeling of Surface Excitation Effect for Rough Surfaces” at the 8th International Symposium on Atomic Level Characterizations for New Materials and Devices,ALC ’11, held in Seoul on May 25, 2011. Professor T. Koshikawa, president of the 141th Committee on Microbeam Analysis of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, presented the award and prize money to DA Bo. The Student Award was established for doctoral students who performed outstanding work in the field of surface science. Every two years, five students from various parts of the world are given this award as voted by corresponding researchers. About 500 participants from 17 countries attended ALC ’11.
