\"CollageThe young researchers Francesco Di Renzo, University of Pisa and INFN Pisa Division, Eleonora Polini, of the LAPP\/IN2P3 laboratory of the French CNRS, and Marco Vardaro, University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands\u2019 National Institute for Subatomic Physics (NIKHEF), are the winners of the second edition of the Virgo Award. The Virgo international collaboration grants this award each year to young scientists from the collaboration for their significant contribution to the experiment’s operations and to the results of the Virgo collaboration. The jury that selected the winners consists of prominent scientists in the field of gravitational-wave physics. In particular, the 2022 Virgo Award was awarded, according to the jury\u2019s reasoning, to Francesco Di Renzo \u201cfor his strong commitment to detector characterisation and \u2018noise hunting\u2019\u201d, to Eleonora Polini \u201cfor sustained contributions to optical benches and \u2018squeezing\u2019 activities\u201d, and to Marco Vardaro \u201cfor contributing to the implementation of \u2018frequency dependent squeezing\u2019 and \u2018commissioning\u2019 activities\u201d.
The awards ceremony took place on 7 July at the EGO (European Gravitational Observatory) during Virgo Week, a quarterly discussion meeting for the whole international collaboration which was held this week<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
