Jessica received NSF LSAMP-BD (Bridge to Doctorate) fellowship! Many congratulations!

Her funding supports her research on mechanical behavior of amorphous boron. This material is highly interesting in that it is a monatomic metallic glass, which is extremely rare. We expect dynamic structural change of this metastable (barely unstable) material under significant mechanical deformation at the micrometer scale.
