Another award nomination for Koen Minartz! This time, the CD researcher has been nominatred for the Holland Society Young Talent Awards for his thesis on Correlation Detective. These awards are awarded yearly by the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities (KHMW) for students in the field of science and technology.
