We are pleased to announce that Dr. Joern Geisbuesch has been awarded the
Michael Penston Prize of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The Royal Astronomical Society has awarded the Michael Penston Prize to
Dr. Joern Geisbuesch from the Astrophysics Group of the Cavendish
Laboratory for his doctoral thesis in the field of Astrophysics and
Astronomy. His thesis entitled "Cosmology with Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Cluster
Surveys" focused on the detection of galaxy clusters via their imprint in
the Cosmic Microwave Background, the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. The thesis
primarily explored how Sunyaev-Zel'dovich cluster surveys can be used to
constrain cluster physics and particularly the cosmology of the Universe.
The Prize is sponsored by the publishers of the Royal Astronomical
Society's Journals, Wiley-Blackwell, and is administered by the Royal
Astronomical Society Higher Education Committee.
