2003 Best Graduate Student Presentation Award winners By the decision of the ICNSP International Committee The First Best Student Talk Award winner is Mr. Jorge A. Carretero, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for the conference presentation Numerical Simulation of a Colloidal Thruster in the Mixed Ion-Droplet Regime.
Jorge Carretero has received B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Universidad de las Americas Puebla, Mexico (1996), and S.M. in Aeronautics & Astronautics from MIT (on microfluidics, 2001). Presently he is candidate for Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at MIT. His adviser is Prof. Manuel Martinez-Sanchez who is teaching, since obtaining his Ph.D. from MIT, in the areas of Propulsion and Energy Conversion, and specializing in Magnetohydrodynamics, Wind Energy, Space Systems, Rocket Propulsion, Turbomachinery. His research is currently funded by AFOSR for basic studies in space propulsion, including Colloid Thrusters and Hall thruster plumes, by NASA for numerical modeling of Hall thrusters and Space Tethers and for contamination studies on the Terrestrial Planet Finder telescopes, and by several industrial partners for Colloid Thruster studies, including application to the LISA Precursor spacecraft project.

The First Best Student Poster Presentation Award winner is Mr. Justin Koo, University of Michigan, for the conference presentation entitled Computational Modeling of a Hall Thruster.
Justin Koo received a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S.E. in Engineering Physics from the University of Michigan in 1999. He received an M.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering from the U. Michigan in 2002. He is presently pursuing a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan. His scientific adviser is Prof. Iain D. Boyd, who after obtaining Ph.D. from the University of Southampton worked for four years as a contractor at NASA Ames Research Center in the area of aerothermodynamics. Dr. Boyd was a faculty member in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University for 6 years, and has been in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan since, where he is a full professor. His research interests involve development of physical models and numerical algorithms using particle methods with applications to a variety of non-equilibrium gas and plasma dynamic systems. He is the recipient of the 1998 AIAA Lawrence Sperry Award, the 1997 AIAA Electric Propulsion Best Paper Award, and is an associate editor of the Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets.
