Our “Rust in Ice” research group is growing in size!
Tao Luo just joined our group as a postdoctoral researcher! We thank the Carl-Tryggers foundation for support.
A new postdoc will also join the Boily group in 2024 to contribute to our growing research activities on ice research. We thank a recent November 2023 grant by the Kempe Foundation for support.
Congratulations Tan!
PhD defense completed! Tan now moves to Chalmers as a postdoctoral researcher!
Congratulations Sébastien!
Sébastien Le Crom (Kempe Postdoc in Boily group) is beginning a “Maître de Conférence” position at Institut Mines-Télécom Nantes (France) in September 2023.
