Marena Manley

It is with great pleasure that the ICNIRS announces Prof. Marena Manley from South Africa as the recipient of the 2025 Tomas Hirschfeld Award. This year’s award round has been exceptionally competitive, with a remarkable pool of top candidates. The strength of this competition is a great sign for the future of our society and the continued growth of our field.
The 2025 THA has been funded by Si-Ware Corporation, and we are excited to present the award during the NIR2025 Conference in Rome, Italy, this coming June. We eagerly anticipate the gathering of the entire NIR community to celebrate this significant achievement.
Congratulations to Marena! We look forward to witnessing her continued contributions to the field.
