On the occasion of the 8th General Assembly of the Austrian Ceramic Society on 06.02.2020 in Graz, Ms. Anna-Katharina Hofer was awarded the 1st prize in the category "Master's Theses" for her thesis "Processing and characterization of textured ceramic layered architectures".
The core topic of the awarded thesis was the production and characterization of novel multi-layered ceramic architectures with (bio-inspired) adjusted microstructure (texture). The work originates from a research collaboration with Pennsylvania State University, where Ms. Hofer herself spent four-month at the American university.
The ISFK, respectively the Department of Materials Science is looking forward to Anna Hofer (currently working at the company LITHOZ in Vienna) starting her PhD on April 1st, 2020.
Congratulations and good luck with the dissertation!
