Congratulations to Corinna Hoose, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), on being awarded the 2017 IAMAS Early Career Scientist Medal.

The Award Committee chaired by IAMAS Vice President Joyce Penner had seven nominations.All were of high quality, but in the end, the Award Committee decided to award the medal to the ICCP nominee: Corinna Hoose. This medal was established in 2011, and is presented every two years, from a selection of candidates nominated by the commissions of IAMAS.

The Award Committee will present her with the medal at a special 2-hour session on 31 August, 2017 during IAMAS Assembly in Cape Town.

Awardee Profile: Corinna Hoose received her PhD from ETH Zurich in Switzerland, where she worked with Prof. Ulrike Lohmann on global modeling of aerosol-cloud interactions in mixed-phase clouds. Afterwards, she was a postdoc in Norway at the University of Oslo with Prof. Jón Egill Kristjánsson. In 2010, she moved to KIT, where she became a professor in 2013 and works on modeling of mixed-phase clouds on different scales, with a focus on the parameterization of heterogeneous ice nucleation.

Message from the Awardee: It is a great honor for me to receive the 2017 IAMAS Early Career Scientist Medal. I would like to thank all the people who have supported and mentored me on my way, and in particular the young and enthusiastic scientists who I am fortunate to interact with.
