The Alchemy of Us
john.mccloyA new book, definitely on my reading list.
Author Q&A: The Alchemy of Us explores our transformative relationship with materials
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!

john.mccloyGood luck to Dr. Mostafa Ahmadzadeh!
john.mccloyLast week was our last week with Mostafa. 5 years ago he came to the NOME group at WSU.

We both looked a bit younger then, but here we are now.

Mostafa also wanted to share his first glass he made here.

He’ll be starting at Exponent in the Boston area very soon.
Good luck Mostafa!
