2. Curriculum Vitae and list of publications.
3. Justification letter describing the focus of the research (max. 800 words).
4. Letter of recommendation from the supervisor, research director, or department head, which also confirms the applicant’s status as a postdoctoral fellow/ PhD student.

The winners (two awardees) will each be awarded 400 CHF and a certificate.

Please submit your applications for the J. Imaging 2020-2021 Travel Awards online by 1 June 2021. Prizes will be awarded at the end of June 2021 and announced on the J. Imaging website.

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Evaluation Committee, we are pleased to announce the two winners of the Journal of Imaging 2019 Travel Award. The awards were granted to Mr. Grigorios Chrysos, a Ph.D. student at Imperial College London, and Dr. Hai Zhang, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto. The award recipients will receive 400 Swiss Francs each to support their attendance at any academic conference on the related areas in 2019.

Mr. Grigorios Chrysos is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computing, Imperial College London. His interests lie at the intersection of statistical machine learning and computer vision.

Dr. Hai Zhang is a postdoctoral fellow in mechanical and industrial engineering at the University of Toronto. His recent research focuses on the development of a 3D photothermal coherence tomography (3D PCT) technique.

With so many high-quality applicants, selecting the recipients of the awards was a difficult decision, and we would like to thank the Evaluation Committee for their excellent work in selecting the winners from such a
large pool of excellent candidates. We wish to congratulate the winners for their accomplishments.
