|
| NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal |
|
2017 |
| For "Outstanding contribution to the Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) research field in proposing a new GRB prompt emission model, which solves a long lasting astrophysical problem, and in devising a relation that establishes GRBs as a new type of cosmological standard candles." |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Description of the Medal: "This prestigious NASA medal–one of the highest distinctions that NASA can provide on behalf of the United States of America–is awarded to both Government and non-Government individuals for exceptional scientific contributions (specific, concrete scientific achievements) toward achievement of the NASA mission. The award is given for individual efforts that have resulted in a key scientific discovery or resulted in contribution(s) of fundamental importance in this field or significantly enhanced understanding of the field." |

|
|
| IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Astrophysics (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics) |
|
2015 |
| For "insightful and innovative contributions towards understanding the nature of gamma ray burst prompt emission, in particular the establishment of multi-component spectra, and the discovery of a new Peak Energy – Luminosity relation showing that GRBs can be used as standard candles and thereby as unique cosmological probes." |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Description of the Prize: "The IUPAP Young Scientist Prizes are awarded to recipients in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the areas of physics with the remit of the Commission." |
