Xinyue Li, PhD Candidate in the Spectroscopy of Solids and Interfaces group within the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) of Radboud University has been awarded the Christine Mohrmann Stipendium. This grant is awarded to promising female PhD Candidates to encourage them to stay in academia after completion of their theses.
Christine Mohrmann stipendium for Xinyue Li
Thermosalient materials
Li's research focuses on thermosalient materials, which have the ability to undergo drastic shape changes upon heating. These materials have great potential for use in various applications such as actuators, sensors, and energy transduction devices. Xinyue is currently using ultrafast optical techniques with picosecond time resolution to investigate the mechanism behind this phase transition. The stipend will be used to conduct research at two different facilities, the Raman Lab in Coimbra and the XFEL facility in Hamburg, in order to obtain more (fundamental) knowledge of the microscopic mechanisms involved in this fascinating phenomenon.
Christine Mohrmann Grant
The Christine Mohrmann Grants are for encouraging female PhD students to continue their scientific careers after completing their dissertations. The Grant includes 5000 Euros allowing to do in depth studies at e.g. a foreign university.
We warmly congratulate Xinyue Li with her grant.
