On 9 July 2024, the ALICE collaboration honoured its PhD Thesis Award winners in a ceremony organised as part of the ALICE collaboration meeting at CERN. Since 2008, ALICE has recognised the most outstanding PhD theses in the fields of physics and instrumentation, based on the excellence of the results obtained, the quality of the thesis manuscript and the importance of the contribution to the collaboration.
The ALICE Thesis Award Committee unanimously chose four winners: Francesca Ercolessi (Universita di Bologna, Italy), Florian Jonas (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany), Ezra D. Lesser (University of California, Berkeley, United States) and Luca Quaglia (Universita di Torino, Italy).
