EEMCS Aspasia grant for Maryam Yadan Mehr

• Thursday, 18 July 2019

We are excited to announce that Maryam Yadan Mehr’s proposal for EEMCS Aspasia grant is accepted. The aim of Aspaisa program is to encourage an accelerated promotion of female academics to a senior or professional level. Maryam is doing her Post-Doc project on the degradation of optical materials in solid-state lighting applications with Professor Zhang and Professor Van Driel. Her professional goal is to go beyond how light is generated in solid-state lighting devices and would like to further explore how light interacts with photoactive materials. She will use this grant to visit the group of Professor Lenaerts at the University of Antwerp. Professor Lenaerts has many years of research experience on photocatalyst materials and development of sustainable purification technologies that operate under ambient conditions of pressure and temperature. Maryam would like to thank EEMCS, Professor Zhang, Professor van Driel, and Professor Sarro for their never-ending supports and belief in her.
