In 2018 the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society created the Steven A. Boggs Young Professional Achievement Award to be given every two years to individuals who have achieved their first significant results in the field of dielectrics and electrical insulation. Their contribution can be in the development of new dielectric materials, aging of insulating materials or systems, or insulation diagnostics. The nominees should have a minimum of 3 years and up to 10 years of experience in research, engineering, or innovation after completing their bachelor's degree. Specifically, nominees should have obtained their first degree in 2016 or later. Nominations can be made by submitting an e-mail or letter to Greg Stone by January 31, 2026. The nominator must provide information on why the nominee's contribution is significant, as well as the nominee's CV and proposed citation (self-nominations are not permitted). The nominator must also indicate at least three people who will endorse the nomination and who will provide their letters of support for the nomination directly to Greg Stone, DEIS Awards Committee Chair, at g.stone@ieee.org.

In 2021 I started my PhD at the University of Colorado (CU), researching spacecraft-plasma interactions, which involve both vacuum chamber experiments and complex simulations. I happened upon this research topic during my junior year at the University of Texas while pursuing an undergraduate research position. I was fortunate to receive an offer to study spacecraft-plasma simulations. Through this position, I uncovered a strong passion for the research. It was this passion that led me to decide to continue in that area in graduate school, as well as intern at the Kirtland Air Force Base Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) the summer before starting graduate school.
2021年,我在科罗拉多大学(University of Colorado)开始攻读博士学位,研究航天器与等离子体的相互作用,包括真空室实验和复杂的模拟。我在德克萨斯大学大三的时候偶然发现了这个研究课题,当时我正在攻读本科研究职位。我很幸运地获得了研究宇宙飞船等离子体模拟的机会。通过这个职位,我发现了对研究的强烈热情。正是这种激情让我决定在研究生院继续研究这个领域,并在开始研究生院之前的那个夏天在科特兰空军基地空军研究实验室(AFRL)实习。
