🏆 PREMIO BRUNO ROSSI PER MIGLIORE TESI PHD A ODYSSE HALIM

Originario di Java in Indonesia, Odysse Halim, associato INFN-LNGS, ha ottenuto nel 2020 il titolo di PhD in Astroparticle Physics al GSSI - Gran Sasso Science Institute dell'Aquila, discutendo una tesi dal titolo "Searching for Core-Collapse Supernovae in the Multimessenger Era: Low Energy Neutrinos and Gravitational Waves".

💫Alla base della tesi di dottorato di Halim c'è l'idea di individuare le Supernovae – esplosioni stellari molto luminose - combinando le informazioni e i segnali sia dai rivelatori di neutrini che dai rivelatori di onde gravitazionali, elementi entrambi spesso presenti nelle radiazioni emesse da una supernova.

Cheers to our star alumni- Varun Chaturmutha

Varun's career graph seems to be soaring high into space. After completing his schooling from Wisdom High International School, Varun gave his career a finesse start by having a BTech degree in Engineering Physics from IIT Guwahati.

During school, he was amongst the most mischievous bunch of students, but he also made it to the top on the scoreboards. Soon after, he went on to explore his Joint Master Degree program in Astrophysics across three renowned universities in Europe.

After gaining insightful knowledge, he inclined towards gaining field experience from the world's best organizations like ISRO & The University of Texas, Austin as a Summer Research Intern, Georgia State University as the Research Assistant in Solar Physics, and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as the Research Assistant.

He currently resides in Georgia, United States, giving his internships the whole of his cleaver mind and heart. We know, this is just the beginning. But for now, let us cherish, how far you have come. The whole WHIS Family holds pride in your achievements. May you keep soaring high into the infinite sky!
