2022 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference Awards: Comments by the Chair

On Behalf of the Committee, I am pleased to announce the 2022 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) awards. In a strong field of candidate papers, one paper stood out in terms of relative ranking and scoring, and a second paper received evaluations well above those of the remaining papers. Accordingly, it was decided to award a best paper and a meritorious paper for NSREC 2022. The Outstanding Student Paper was the highest-ranking finalist paper first authored and presented by a student. The Outstanding Data Workshop paper was judged on the basis of the quality and impact of the poster at NSREC. The award recipients include:
