CMS PhD Thesis Award winners 2021
Each year, the CMS collaboration recognises exceptional PhD student work with the Thesis Award. To select the best theses of 2021, a Thesis Award committee of 29 CMS scientists was appointed by the Collaboration Board (CB) Chair.
From the 25 nominations received this year, three winners were selected by the committee and then endorsed by the CB: Michael Andrews (Carnegie Mellon University), Matteo Bonanomi (LLR – Institut Polytechnique de Paris) and Viktoria Hinger (Institute of High Energy Physics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Vienna University of Technology).
The evaluation was based on the originality of the thesis author’s personal contributions, clarity, quality of content, and impact within CMS and in the broader context of high-energy physics.

CMS Young Researchers Prize 2022
The CMS collaboration also recognises the efforts and outstanding achievements of its younger members, honouring them with the CMS Young Researchers Prize. This endorsement of their skills and dedication not only paves the way for their future careers but also motivates other young researchers to excel in the field.
Each year since 2012, at least three members have been awarded the prize, which comprises cash and a memento, for their sustained contributions and dedication in any area of the collaboration’s activities.
Congratulations to this year’s prize recipients: Davide Ceresa (CERN), Rajdeep Mohan Chatterjee (University of Minnesota), Jan Kieseler (CERN) and Yuta Takahashi (University of Zurich).

CMS Award 2021
The CMS collaboration is proud to have been successfully advancing knowledge, scientific research and technology for years, and all this would certainly not have been possible without the contribution of each of its members.
The CMS Award, which honours dedicated members of the CMS collaboration for their significant contributions and outstanding work, has been awarded every year since 2000. Nominations can be made by any CMS member, for work in a variety of fields, ranging from detector systems and coordination to outreach. The awardees are selected by a dedicated committee of five members, and the selection is then endorsed by the CMS Collaboration Board (CB) Chair.
