Ariadna Calcines Rosario received the ENDECAN Award for Scientific and Technological Talent in recognition of her professional career achievements in the design and development of image slicer technology for astronomy, her main research area at the Centre for Advanced Instrumentation at Durham University.
Ariadna was presented with the award by the General Director of ENDESA Spain, at a ceremony organised by them on the 11th December 2024 at a venue in Tenerife. The awards recognise talent from the Canary Islands in multiple disciplines, such as sustainability, biodiversity, solidarity, sports or culture.
The event included a panel discussion where she presented LUCES, a project funded by the UK Space Agency, that she leads in collaboration with UCL to develop the image slicer technology beyond the current technology limits for applications in the Extreme Ultra-Violet regime for the next generation of solar space missions.
