Best Engineering Thesis Award
The doctoral thesis is a proof of the ability of the PhD candidate to perform independent scientific research. Yearly the Groningen Engineering Center gives an award to the most outstanding engineering thesis at the University of Groningen. A jury evaluates the nominated theses based on the following criteria:
-
scientific quality and impact
-
long term societal impact
-
interdisciplinary connections
The winner of the Best Engineering Thesis of 2022 was warded to ZIAM graduate Chongnan Ye for his thesis "Design of sustainable polymer networks for advanced applications based on dynamic covalent bonds". Chongnan’s research focused on environmentally sustainable materials. By designing and synthesizing materials from base chemicals, he explored applications such as sensors, membranes, and energy-harvesting materials.
