Congratulations Dr. Emily Nienhuis-Marcial!
john.mccloyEmily successfully defended her dissertation, “Structure of Glasses and Glass-Forming Liquids with Application to Nuclear Waste Vitrification.” Since the defense format was virtual, due to our quarantine, we don’t have a picture of the group. So instead, I’m posting a few photos of Emily from her years with the NOME group, 2016-2020.
Congrats again!
(you can see that Emily likes hats, whether in San Antonio or Paris)
You rock Emily!
