Ms. Ang Pei Shan, recent ASE graduate from the Geosciences stream, has been recognised as a Highly Commended entrant and Regional winner for Asia of The Global Undergraduate Awards 2019 in the Earth & Environmental Sciences category. Her entry is an OFYP titled ‘Spatial probabilities of eruption scenarios: A case study of the Auckland volcanic field, New Zealand’, supervised by Asst Prof Susanna Jenkins of ASE, and co-supervised by Assoc Prof Jan Lindsay and Prof Mark Bebbington in New Zealand. Ms. Ang is one of nine shortlisted students for the global undergraduate award in the Earth and Environmental Sciences category, from a total of ~3500 entries worldwide distributed over 25 categories.

The Global Undergraduate Awards, cited as the ultimate champion of high potential undergraduates, and often referred to as the junior Nobel Prize, is the world’s largest academic awards programme with over 100 affiliated institutions of higher education. It provides top performing students with the support, network, and opportunities they require to raise their profiles and further their career paths. Under the patronage of the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, it identifies leading creative thinkers and problem-solvers through their undergraduate coursework.

All submissions to the Global Undergraduate Awards are judged anonymously by an international academic panel of 400+ expert judges from some of the world’s leading academic institutions. All entering students are invited to the UA Global Summit 2019 in Dublin, Ireland, in November.
