The 5th FEMS Master Thesis Award final took place on 21 July at FEMS Junior EUROMAT 2022
4 finalists from France, Greece, Portugal and Spain, all winners of their respective finals, gave a 10-minute presentation in front of a full audience on their chosen topics ranging from optoelectric devices and metallic nanostructures to hybrid 3-D manufacturing and zirconia-zirconia-based materials for dental applications.
After running virtually for 2 years, the event was held as in-person during FEMS Junior EUROMAT 2022 in Coimbra, Portugal. Professor Eric Le Bourhis, Immediate past President of FEMS and Chair of the judging panel said, ‘I was very impressed by the FEMS Master Thesis finalists’ level and achievements so far in their research’.
Second place went to Ivânia Trêpo of SPM for Transparent and flexible ECoG electrode arrays of metallic nanostructures for neural recordings, third place to Yann Bami-Chatener (SF2M) for Elaboration of super-hydrophobic bio-inspired surfaces by hybrid 3D-manufacturing and fourth to Chrysoula Aivalioti (HSSTCM) for Nanostructured doped nickel oxide thin films made by rf sputtering as hole transfer layers for transparent optoelectric devices.
