The School of Materials Engineering is pleased to announce PhD student Ozgur Keles was selected by the American Ceramic Society to receive the Sapphire Award in the Graduate Excellence in Materials Science (GEMS) award program. This award, presented annually by ACerS at the MS&T Conference is based on the scientific and academic accomplishment of the student, as well quality of research presented at the meeting and the overall oral presentation of the student. He was selected for his paper “Statistical Failure Analysis of Crystallographically Isotropic Porous Materials”, work he has done with his advisors R. Edwin Garcia and Keith J. Bowman, in the session on Multi Scale Modeling of Microstructure Deformation in Material Processing.

My thanks go to my advisors Dr. Keith J. Bowman and Dr. R. Edwin García, and Dr. John Blendell.
