2019 IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference Awards: Comments by the Chairman.

It is a long-standing tradition of the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) to recognize the Outstanding Conference Paper, the Outstanding Data Workshop Presentation, and the best article presented and first-authored by an IEEE Student Member. In addition to recognizing authors for particularly high quality and relevant work, the awards process encourages all authors to produce presentations and manuscripts of high technical quality, clarity of presentation, and significance to the community.
