PPGCEM PhD students get research grants abroad

    The PhD student Guilherme Lisboa de Gouveia was awarded a BEPE-FAPESP grant and has been developing part of his doctorate since July 2022 in the research group of Prof. Nikhilesh Chawla at Purdue University, one of the most prestigious engineering schools in the United States. The PhD student Sarah Maria de Albuquerque Sousa was selected in a process for students from all over the country, carried out by Campus France with 18 months of funding for her doctorate at Aix Marseille University in the IM2NP laboratory, the fourth best university in France.

    The PhD student Guilherme Lisboa de Gouveia was awarded a BEPE-FAPESP grant and has been developing part of his doctorate since July 2022 (Evaluation of the microstructural evolution of biomedical absorbable Mg alloys during corrosion process through non-destructive 3D analysis using the Absorption Contrast X -ray Tomography (ACT) technique) in the research group of Prof. Nikhilesh Chawla at Purdue University, one of the most prestigious engineering schools in the United States. The group coordinated by prof. Chawla works (in one of his topics of expertise) evaluating structural alloys, investigating corrosion resistance and pitting, in order to reveal the essential mechanisms associated with the chemical composition and constituent phases. It is worth noting that Purdue University is ranked among the top 5 engineering institutions in the United States (https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Academics/Graduate).
    The PhD student Sarah Maria de Albuquerque Sousa was selected in a process for students from all over the country,
    carried out by Campus France with 18 months of funding for her doctorate (Analysis of the solidification microstructure
    and application properties of Al-Sn-Cu(-Bi) bearing alloys) at Aix Marseille University in the IM2NP laboratory, starting in September 2022. She will be supervised by Professors Guillaume Reinhart and Henri Nguyen-Thi [https://youtu.be/iRoIWM8WnUs]. Aix-Marseille
    is the fourth best university in France. The French group is a pioneer and one of the most specialized worldwide in
    solidification analysis through "in situ" images/videos.
