She was award the R.W.B. Stephens Prize for her talk Estimation of temperature-dependent piezoelectric material parameters using ring-shaped specimens. The R.W.B. Stephens Prize is dedicated to Prof. Raymond Stephens (1902-1990), who co-initiated the Ultrasonics International conferences (forerunner of the ICU) and, as an outstanding professor, taught and inspired many students in the field of physical acoustics and ultrasound. The prize is sponsored by ELSEVIER and awarded to five outstanding young scientists.
