Magnesium Research at LMPT receives various Awards
After the Corona pandemic, people at LMPT finally had the opportunity to present their accumulated results at international conferences over the Summer and Fall 2023. The results were well received by the international community.
Andrea Rich attended the external page33rd Int. Conf. on Bioceramics in Solothurn, Switzerland (Oct. 17-20, 2023), and was awarded the Best Presentation Prize for her talk entitled “Amorphous magnesium-fiber reinforced bone cement shows enhanced mechanical and biocompatible properties.”
Dr. Indranil Basu attended the Joint external pageRQ17 & ISMANAM 27 conference in Warsaw, Poland (60 years of metallic glasses, Aug. 20-25, 2023), and received the International Symposium on Metastable, Amorphous, and Nanostructured Materials (ISMANAM) Early-Career Scientist Award. Indranil works primarily on the physical metallurgy of lean Mg alloys and the additive manufacturing of metallic multi-materials.
Tatiana Akhmetshina attended the external page15th Biometal Conference in Cetraro, Italy (Aug. 21-27, 2023), and was awarded a Poster Prize (first place) for her work entitled “Insights into Mg degradation with X-ray ptychographic computed tomography.” Tatiana also presented her poster in a short oral talk at the conference, and impressed the committee so much that she was additionally bestowed with an Oral Presentation Award.
Tatiana Akhmetshina was also awarded a MaP Poster Prize at the Materials and Processes (MaP) Graduate Symposium 2023 that took place on June 22, 2023 at ETH Zurich, for her work entitled “Magnesium Corrosion & Lessons from High-Resolution 3D Data”.
Furthermore, the external pageJournal of Magnesium and Alloys and the external pageInternational Magnesium Society bestowed the International Magnesium Science & Technology Award, Person of the Year (2022) on Prof. Jörg F. Löffler. The award ceremony took place during the Magnesium Materials Summit in Lanxi, Zhejiang, China, and the prize was forwarded to him in summer 2023. Jörg Löffler received this award in recognition of his design of lean and micro-alloyed Mg alloys suitable for bioresorbable implant applications, and the demonstration of their clinical applicability.
