The MaP Doctoral School has a new student voice. At the MaP Graduate Symposium last week, the MaP community elected Najma Sultana Shaik (D-BAUG) as Student Representative for the 2026/27 term, succeeding outgoing representative Dimitrios Sapalidis (D-PHYS).
Dr. Julie Laurent has been awarded the MaP Award 2026, recognising the most outstanding doctoral thesis in Materials and Processes at ETH Zurich. The award was presented during the MaP Graduate Symposium following a final in which four doctoral researchers presented their work to an expert jury.
Last Thursday, ETH Zürich's Materials and Processes community came together at HG Audi Max for a day of cutting-edge science, lively poster sessions and plenty of networking. From battery anodes to biohybrid microswimmers, the breadth of research on show made one thing clear: materials and processes touch nearly every corner of engineering and science.
