Marcus was recently awarded the 2008 Acta Student Award, reflecting outstanding articles published in Acta Materialia in 2007, one of the top journals in Materials Science and Engineering. Marcus was nominated for the three papers below, reporting on research carried out during his PhD thesis which was co-advised by Dr. Dean Haeffner at Argonne National Laboratory. The papers report on experiments carried out at the Advanced Photon Source. Marcus will attend the presentation ceremony which will be at the joint MS&T Conference in Pittsburgh in early October. Congratulations!
