DGPF award for our EAGLE MSc Luisa Wagner

We are very happy to congratulate our former EAGLE student Luisa Wagner for the 2nd prize of the Karl‐Kraus‐Nachwuchsförderpreis 2024.

Luisa received this award for her M.Sc. thesis which she handed in early last year on “Analysis of ice shelf front dynamics in Pine Island Bay (Antarctica) based on long-term SAR time series and deep learning.” supervised by Prof. Dr. Tobias Ullmann.

Luisa continued her academic career right after her M.Sc. by pursuing a PhD in environmental sciences at the Bavarian academy of science. Great to see her fantastic research honored by the DGPF and we wish her all the best for her future career!
