Jan-Willem Steeb wins URSI Student Paper Competition!
| Submitter: | Stefan Wijnholds |
| Description: | From May 28 to June 1, the URSI Atlantic Radio Science Conference (AT-RASC) was held in the pleasant place of Gran Canaria, Spain. This URSI flagship meeting was well attended with 578 registrants presenting about 700 papers. At its flagship meetings, URSI organises a very competitive Student Paper Competition (SPC) supported by funding from the United States National Committee of URSI. At the AT-RASC, the first prize was awarded to Jan-Willem Steeb, a PhD student from Stellenbosch University (SU) supervised by David Davidson (Curtin University, SU) and Stefan Wijnholds (ASTRON, SU) for his paper on "Mitigation of Non-Narrowband Radio Frequency Interference". This paper proposes two methods to deal with RFI that cannot be adequately represented (and therefore suppressed) by standard narrowband techniques. An example of such RFI are Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) signals occupying the full width of a LOFAR subband. The photo kindly made by Jacki Gilmore (SU) shows Jan-Willem Steeb holding his certificate with his proud supervisor Stefan Wijnholds. The insets show the certificate and his equally proud other supervisor David Davidson, who, unfortunately, was not able to attend the conference himself. |
