The students Julio Parra Martínez and Clara Murgui Gálvez have obtained, respectively, the first and the second of the ‘Premios Nacionales de Final de Carrera de Educación Universitaria' corresponding to the studies in Physics, awarded by the Ministerio de Educación y Formación Profesional. They finished the Degree in Physics at the Facultat de Física de la Universitat de València at the end of the academic course 2013-14 and have been recently awarded.
Julio Parra continued his studies at the University of Cambridge where followed the ‘MASt of Applied Mathematics (Part III of the Mathematical Tripos)' with a scholarship of La Caixa and received the “Mayhew Prize”. He currently develops a PhD in the University of California Los Angeles, under the supervision of Professor Zvi Bern, supported by a Fulbright grant for extension of studies and funds of the university. His research focuses on applying modern techniques for the calculation of scattering amplitudes to several problems of Theoretical Physics.
Clara Murgui followed a two-year master in Theoretical and Particle Physics at Heidelberg (Germany) from 2014, with a scholarship of La Caixa, where she finished the master thesis in the division of Theoretical Physics of the Max Planck Institute für Kernphysik on unification and theories ‘left-right'. In 2016 she received a scholarship La Caixa-Severo Ochoa to develop the doctorate at the Institute of Corpuscular Physis in the group LHC-Pheno, beginning her thesis on “Phenomenological and cosmological aspects of lectroweak models beyond the standard model”, under supervision of Antonio Pich and Pavel Fileviez Pérez.
Seventeen students of different studies within Universitat de València have been awarded this year. In total, the number of awards include 9 first prizes, 7 second prizes and a third prize. The Universitat de València is the Spanish university with a highest number of first prizes in the areas of Science, and Arts and Humanities. The Ministerio has awarded a total of 57 first prizes, with an endowment of 3.300 euros for each of them; 57 second prizes, with an endowment of 2.650 euros; and other 57 third prizes, with 2.200 euros.
