ICDD Scholarships

The Internationall Centre for Diffraction Data awarded Crystallography Scholarships for 1997 to Nathalie Audebrand (U. de Rennes, France), Savvas Savvides (Cornell U., USA), and Hongwu Xu (Princeton U., USA). Nathalie Audebrand will study "Structure, Microstructure and Temperature Dependent Diffraction Studies on New Cerium-based Precursors and Related Oxides." Studies of "Structure Determination of the flk2/flt3 Ligand", will be conducted by Savvas Savvides. David Teter's research focuses on "Superhard Carbon Boronitride Alloys: A Rational Approach to Design and Synthesis." Hongwu Xu will continue his studies entitled "Structural Analyses of Stuffed Quartz Phases Along the LiAl-SiO₄-SiO₂ Join. "
