IUCr Young Scientist Awards
The American Association for Crystal Growth (AACG) would like to thank the International
Union for Crystallography (IUCr) for their support of the Conferences.
A total of five $600 IUCr Young Scientist subsistence and travel awards were made to
graduate students using the IUCr support. The recipients and the presentations they
gave were:
-
Scott Dossa (University of Minnesota) “Modeling the Optical Floating Zone Crystal Growth System for Materials Discovery” (Invited)
-
Michael Liao (UCLA) “Surface Evolution of Single Crystalline β-Ga2O3 with Chemical Mechanical Polishing and Annealing at an Elevated Temperature.”
-
Grace Pan (Harvard) “Effective Dimensionality-Tuned Electronic States in Metastable Nickel Oxide Thin Films”
-
John Roerig (University of Minnesota) “Evaluation of an Inverted Vertical Gradient Freeze Method for Cadmium Zinc Telluride”
-
Xiaotian Zhang (Penn State) “Epitaxial Growth of Layered β-In2Se3 Thin Films Via Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition”
IUCr also gave awards to two student poster presenters:
-
Smail Amari (CEA LITEN LCO, Grenoble, FR), “Crystal Growth and Characterization of CH3NH3PbBr3 Single-Crystals for X-Ray Photodetection.”
-
Muad Saleh (Washington State University, USA) “Electrical and Optical Properties of Zr Doped β-Ga2O3 Single Crystals Grown by Czochralski Method.”
