The DAKS PhD prize is awarded every year by the Danish Ceramic Society (Dansk Keramisk Selskab (DAKS)) to the best PhD thesis on ceramics or glass from a Danish university. Nominations are evaluated by the industry members of the DAKS board with the prize being awarded at a DAKS meeting.
“Esra’s exceptional work and dedication to her field has led to her being selected as the winner of the 2022 DAKS PhD Prize,” said Fei Chen, CEO of LiqTech International. “At LiqTech, we believe that investing in research and development is essential to creating sustainable and innovative solutions for the world's most pressing problems. Esra's award-winning research is a shining example of this commitment, and we look forward to seeing the impact of her work on the industry in the years to come.”
DAKS is a network of individuals, companies and research institutions that deal with ceramic materials and processes. The society mainly deals with technical ceramics such as glasses, electro-ceramics, fuel cells, ceramic superconductors and catalysts. The society holds meetings once or twice a year to strengthen communication and collaboration between Danish industry and research.
Malte Eriksen, VP of R&D and Engineering at LiqTech, added: “We extend our sincerest congratulations to Esra Eray on this achievement. We are honored to have her on our team and excited to see where her research will take us in the future.”
