Annual CASA Prize for Best Paper on Spatial Analysis is presented at GISRUK in memory of Sinesio Alves Junior
CASA has presented an award for best paper on spatial analysis annually at GISRUK since 2010 in memory of Sinesio Alves Junior.听
Junior, as he was affectionately known, is a much missed friend who joined CASA in 2001 as a Doctoral Researcher and member of staff. 听Junior worked as a Research Fellow at听CASA on projects such as听the ESRC NeXSuS project led by Peter Allen from听Cranfield. He later assisted the whole of CASA with his听technical expertise as our systems administrator and was听returning to Brazil to take a job at INPE when he was听unexpectedly diagnosed with a brain tumour.听
Junior made a big impact on everyone he met due to his听friendly and cheerful nature. He had a great sense of听humour and was always smiling and we miss him very听much.
It's our great pleasure to present this award annually at GISRUK听in memory of听Sinesio Alves Junior.
