Each year the VERITAS collaboration recognizes exceptional work by two individuals - a graduate student (the Simon Swordy Outstanding Contribution Award) and a postdoctoral researcher (the Trevor Weekes Outstanding Contribution Award), to "...formally recognize the significant contributions of more early-career members of the collaboration in the critical service work that enables scientific publications of VERITAS, but do not result in any scientific publications directly". This year one of the wnners is: 

Jooyun Woo successfully defended her thesis "From Photons to Cosmic Rays: A Multiwavelength Pursuit of Galactic PeVatrons," Feb 2025. Advisors: Reshmi Mukherjee & Chuck Hailey

Colin Adams successfully defended his thesis "Faint signatures in large archival datasets: Searching for exotic particles, events, and sources with VERITAS," August 2024. Advisor: Reshmi Mukherjee

Colin won a best poster award for his poster "Gamma-Ray Propagation Signatures in AGN Spectra with VERITAS" at the High Energy Phenomena in Relativistic Outflows (HEPRO-VIII) conference, 23-26 Oct 2023 Paris (France).
