Our PhD Wall is Growing — and So Is Our Research Family!

Our PhD Wall is Growing — and So Is Our Research Family!

October 8, 2025

It’s been a remarkable year for our research team! The PhD Wall of Fame, showcasing all past and current doctoral researchers, has officially reached its limits — and we’ve had to expand it to make room for even more success stories.

So far six PhD defenses have taken place just this year, with several more on the horizon. Each defense represents years of dedication, innovation, and collaboration within our research community — and it’s a joy to see the wall filling up faster than ever before.

The newly extended wall now proudly features portraits and titles of all our PhD alumni and current candidates, celebrating their scientific achievements and contributions to our ongoing projects. As we prepare for the next round of defenses in the coming months, we’re already asking ourselves the big question: where do we expand to next?

Congratulations to all our PhD graduates and soon-to-be doctors — your work continues to inspire the next generation of researchers!
