2024 MAJR Medal


The McGuire Award for Junior Researchers (MAJR Medal) was established in honor of the late Professor William “Bill” McGuire, a long-term member of SSRC, who emphasized that state-of-the-art research is instrumental to improve the quality of stability design. The award recognizes the research activity of the candidate in a period not exceeding ten years after obtaining their Ph.D. degree.


Dr. Subramanian was chosen for her high-quality and cutting-edge stability focused research, and her strong record of professional engagement seeking to translate research into practice. She will be presented with the award at the 2025 SSRC Annual Stability Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.
