Boris wins Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Competition
Congratulations to Boris Dyatkin, who recently won the The Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Competition. He received this highly competitive award for his presentation titled: “Probing Supercapacitor Carbon-Electrolyte Structure and Ion Dynamics with Neutrons” at the DOE EFRC PI meeting in Washington, DC. Boris gave an excellent talk on Monday. Here is what Dr. David Wesolowski, Director of FIRST EFRC said about his presentation: “I would like to recognize Boris for his outstanding talk. Already as a graduate student, his presentation showed a level of scientific insight and political astuteness that I am sure made many senior scientists envious.” Congratulations once again!

NMG Alum Promoted to Full Professor
Congratulations to Dr. Volker Presser, former post-doctoral associate in the Nanomaterials Group, who was appointed as Full Professor and Head of Energy Materials at the Saarland University in Germany. He is also affiliated with INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials. It’s particularly impressive taking into account that Volker went from Assistant Professor to Full Professor in about two years, skipping the intermediate Associate Professor step. Congratulations once again to Volker!
