Four of our team’s contributions to the recent International Electric Propulsion Conference (IEPC2024) were awarded with a Best Paper distinction in their respective sessions. It is the recognition of hard work, with half of our submissions beeing awarded.
The papers will also be published in a special issue of the Journal of Electric Propulsion, edited by Stéphane Mazouffre and Laurent Garrigues. You can find the list of the papers below (team members are in bold)
