Mangaluru: Professor Anjana Devi of Ruhr University Bochum in Germany received an honorary doctorate from Aalto University on Saturday June 18 in Finland for her research in Inorganic Materials Chemistry.
Professor Devi is a researcher at the frontiers in the field of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technology. She is also a world-renowned scientist, particularly in the field of precursor chemistry for ALD and CVD thin-film fabrication. She has made a significant contribution to bringing together the ALD and CVD research communities.
Devi has organised major joint international ALD and CVD conferences and has led EU projects and major German projects (involving many big companies) in the field.
Aalto University schools can grant honorary doctorates and doctoral insignia at conferment ceremonies to individuals with strong ties to Aalto University and impressive achievements in science and technology or significant contributions to other societal or cultural activities.
