Austin’s paper entitled “Magnetic and Tunable Dielectric Properties of DyCrO₃ Thin Films” was published in the Journal of Materials Science. Congrats Austin!

Mark E. Johnson, an undergraduate student in Dr. Menka Jain’s group, has received Honorable Mention in the 2019 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP).

The GRFP recognizes and supports individuals early in their graduate training in STEM (Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics) fields.

Mark’s proposal for the GRFP was based on research he has conducted over the last three semesters in Dr. Jain’s lab.

Mark will graduate in May with a dual major in physics and chemistry. While he has received offers from many graduate programs, Mark will begin his graduate studies at University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

REU student in our lab from Berkeley University, Ms Sonia Martin presented her work in the poster session at the Tech Park, UCONN today. Good Work Sonia!

Ms. Sonia Martin, an REU student from Berkeley, joined our lab for summer. Welcome Sonia!

Dr. Shiqi Yin attended the commencement to receive his PhD degree.

Jianhang’s paper entitled “Enhancement in magnetocaloric properties of ErCrO₃ via A-site Gd substitution” was published in the Journal of Applied Physics. Congrats Jianhang!

Graduate student Shiqi Yin successfully defended his PhD thesis. Congratulations!!!

 

Graduate student Jianhang Shi attended and presented a poster titled “Single Phase Multiferroic: Fe Substituted Gd-Chromite [GdFe_0.5Cr_0.5O₃] thin films” at the Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall meeting, Boston, MA (2017).

Jianhang presented an oral talk titled “Enhancement in magnetocaloric effect of pure ErCrO3 with Gd doping” at the 62^nd Annual conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM), Pittsburgh, PA, 6-10^th Nov (2017).

Dr. Jain was a Panel member in SPECIAL RECOGNITION EVENT: WOMEN AT THE FRONTIERS OF FERROELECTRICS…at the 14th International Meeting on Ferroelectrics, San Antonio, TX.
