A new PhD in town: meet Dr. Julian Rackwitz!

But seriously: How often do you hear about vibrations, partial dislocations and bacteria in a single PhD defense?

Thanks to my colleague Prof. Greg Olson for the co-supervision of this young superstar!

2) Jiyun has accepted a faculty position in the Materials Science & Engineering Department of University of California Berkeley @BerkeleyMSE @UCBerkeley! What an amazing achievement from Dr. Kang (who is about to be Prof. Kang).

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

Some great news!

1) Felicity will be joining the Centre for Nuclear Engineering at Imperial, as a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow, to start her own research group on materials degradation / characterization for nuclear power! Congrats Dr. Worsnop!

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

With lots of laughter, pizza, speeches & gifts, we have said farewell to Michela (well, now Prof. Geri!).

Follow her magic in Duke: https://t.co/ixWkUfTn5l

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

Important times – this semester we were able to welcome six new grad students in our group: Future is so bright with Alex, Can, Minho, Berk, Abhi and You Na!

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

A proud moment: our post-doc Dr. Prafull Pandey is leaving the group to join IIT Gandhinagar @iitgn as an Assistant Professor! Prafull did his PhD with Prof. Kamanio Chattopadhyay, and has demonstrated all kinds of magic as a post-doc here in alloy design. Thanks Prafull for all!

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

We've just said farewell to Dr. Felicity Worsnop, who received the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt fellowship to continue out her amazing research in Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung! Congratulations again Felicity, and thanks for everything 🤠

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

Talking about good news and proud moments, here is another one: our wonderful post-doc Dr. Michela Geri just landed a well deserved tenure-track faculty position in the Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science of @DukeU! Wow! Congrats Michela!

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

Doesn't get any better than the commencement! Proudest moments as we formally celebrate our new PhDs... @MITcommencement @MIT
@mit_dmse

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

Who cares about the rain – it was great fun to bring the entire team and to reunite with alumni at #TMS2023!

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

Now it is time to say farewell to Dr. Shaolou Wei - not only a brilliant mind/scientist, but also a great team member, friend, role model… Viel Glück Shaolou!

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

Saying farewell, with very mixed feelings, to Dr. Hyunseok Oh (@hyunseok07), who joins the MSE department at UW-Madison as an Assistant Professor, and to Dr. Jiyun Kang, who joins @GuLabStanford at Stanford as a post-doc. May the force be with them!

[Cem Tasan @TasanGroupMIT]

New PhDs: Dr. Haoxue Yan & Dr. Jiyun Kang! Had so much fun learning about micro-strain localization, and H effects on dislocations, with these amazing scientists. Haoxue is now a post-doc with Prof. Kunal Mukherjee at @Stanford. Jiyun will stay with us a bit more. Congrats again!
