MMM Hub Conference best poster award
Bonan was awarded the best poster prize at MMM Hub Conference 2018
Visit to Los Alamos National Laboratary
Bonan visited LANL as a student guest for two weeks. He had several meetings with local scientists discussing about modelling interfaces.
Fellowship extension
Matias Acosta is happy to receive an extension to his Alexander von Humboldt Feodor Lynnen Fellowship to continue working on complex oxide cathodes.
Invited guest lecture to the Institute of Materials Science at Los Alamos
Judith delivered an invited guest lecture to the Institute of Materials Science at Los Alamos lab on “New Concepts for Realising Exemplary Functionalities in Strongly Correlated Oxides”, and also had a lunch meeting with early career researchers.
Invited guest lecture at Applied Materials
Judith delivered an invited guest lecture at Applied Materials in Sunnyvale on “Designing Reliable RRAM with Applicability to Industry”. It was fascinating to learn more of the industry perspective on new memory technologies.
Meeting Prof Theodore Geballe
Judith met with Prof. Theodore Geballe, her old Professor from Stanford. It was great to see Ted, discuss science, and to catch up with other colleagues at Stanford.
Invited Talk at Neuromorphic Computing Workshop, 2018
Dr. Rui Wu Gave an Invited Talk at Neuromorphic Computing Workshop, 2018
Interesting visit to Seoul, Anseong, Hangzhou, Souzhou and Shanghai.
On her Far East visit, Prof. Driscoll first had a very interesting visit to our sponsor, Sunam and she also attended the Chinese Chemical Society Meeting.
APL Materials Conference, 10-12 April 2018
Successful APL Materials Conference on 'Interfaces in Energy Materials'
Kroll Prize
Judith is very pleased to be notified that she is to be the IOM3 Kroll Prize recipient in 2018, following in the footsteps of former notable recipients from her dept. (Prof. Fray and Best and Dr. Kumar).
Alumnus Donation to Driscoll group
We are very happy to report that Dr. Bill Welland has made a further donation to support the research in the Driscoll group. Having such unattributed funds is most welcome and needed. Hence, we are very grateful to Bill for his generosity and for his interest in our work.
Science Festival and Ice Cream
Judith, her group and other members of the Materials Science dept. take part in the annual Cambridge Science Festival. We are very grateful to Trinity College for sponsoring the event.
New funding from The Office of Naval Research Global
We are pleased to announce funding from The Office of Naval Research Global for a 3 yr. funded program for a postdoc to work on Nanostructured Metamaterials for High-Tc Superconductivity.
Prof. Driscoll attends the COST TO BE Spring meeting in San Feliu
She talks about the prospects and challenges of ALD for complex Oxides, with co-author Dr. Napari. The talk is based on a paper they have written for the '2018 Oxide Technology Roadmap'
Dr. Mari Napari in COST Action HERALD Workshop
Dr. Mari Napari attended the COST Action HERALD Workshop in ICMAB Barcelona aimed for early career investigators (ECI) working in the field of ALD to create competitive proposals for joint, EU-funded research projects.
Prof. Driscoll visits Ras Al Khamiah, UAE
Prof. Driscoll attended the 10th meeting of IWAM. The meeting was in honour of Prof. Millie Dresselhaus who attended the meeting for many years.
