CLASP Student First Paper Fall 2021

CLASP students celebrate first authorship on scientific papers

Nine Climate & Space students published their first lead-author paper this year.

By:

Climate & Space recently recognized nine graduate students who have recently published their first lead-author refereed paper. The event was hosted by Prof. Shasha Zou, and each student presented an overview of their published paper for an audience of students, faculty, and staff in the CSRB auditorium, as well as via zoom.

After the presentations, CLASP department chair Prof. Tuija Pulkkinen presented each student with a certificate commemorating their achievement. the certificate, followed by a photo of the group.

(l-r) Brett McCuen, Camilla Harris, Austin Brenner, Prof. Tuija Pulkkinen, Madeline Evans, Yingjie Zhu, Tristan Rendfrey. On zoom: Sergio Vidal-Luengo, Haochang Luo, Charles Bowers.
