The winners are:

* The MSc. thesis category MSc. Timothée Delcourt of ETH Zurich (advisor prof. Dr. Andrew Jackson, co-supervisor prof. Dr. Andreas Fichtner) with thesis titled 'Is there no free lunch in low dimensional parameter estimation?'. The commission appreciated the exhaustive approach to the evaluation of Bayesian methods applied to minimization of rough multimodal functions, the innovative development of the likelihood-free algorithms, and not the least, the exceptional quality of presentation of the results.

* The Bc. thesis category Bc. Patrick Pfammatter of ETH Zurich (advisor Dr. Cedric Schmelzbach, additional supervisor MSc Tjeerd Kiers) with thesis titled 'Seismic tomography of an alpine landslide using Distributed Acoustic Sensing'. The commission considered very highly the practical application of large dataset processing and new methods developed for DAS processing.

The winners (thanks to our main sponsor Gas Storage CZ and sponsors EAGE, Seismik s.r.o., G Impuls Praha s.r.o. and Geophysical Institute) will receive 1,000 Euro and 600 Euro (MSc. and Bc., respectively), free EAGE student membership for 2024 and Voucher for an EAGE online learning course.
