March 26th, 2019
Abstract
Chiara Guazzoni became Chair of the Radiation Instrumentation Steering Committee (RISC) of the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society of the IEEE for the term 2019-2020 after having been appointed Vice-Chair for the term 2017-2018. The RISC consists of 15 elected members-at-large, plus certain ex-officio members, among which the Chair, the Vice-Chair and the Immediate Past-Chair and manages the Radiation Instrumentation Technical Committee whose commitment is to promote the development and application of radiation detectors, radiation instrumentation, nuclear electronics and measurement techniques for ionizing radiation and to serve the interests of people involved in the aforementioned activities.
She is the first woman to serve in this role.
The RISC, in conjunction with the Nuclear Medical and Imaging Sciences Council (NMISC), oversees the annual Nuclear Science Symposium (NSS) and Medical Imaging Conference (MIC) and is responsible of for providing the long range planning for the NSS/MIC, such as site selection and choosing a General Chairperson.
The RISC provides input to the editorial board of the IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science.
RISC promotes radiation detectors and instrumentation together with related electronics and software generally by nominating members of the Committee for IEEE Fellow status and for various IEEE Awards.
RISC itself manages three IEEE Awards for which it has direct control of the nomination and award processes through the RISC Awards SubCommittee:
the Radiation Instrumentation Early Career Award, the Emilio Gatti Technical Achievement Award and the Glenn F. Knoll Outstanding Achievement Award. These are presented annually at the NSS in a dedicated Award Session.
RITC member participation in the Committee activities is fundamental and strongly encouraged. Several ways of serving and participating are possible, from upgrading of ones membership from standard member status to senior member status, to nominating deserving persons for the RISC Awards, to self-nominating as a candidates for the Member-At-Large position and to giving suggestions and contributions for scientific and educational activities beneficial to the RITC Community.
