Grenoble Institute of Technology to grant four honorary doctorates
Grenoble Institute of Technology will grant four honorary doctorate degrees at a ceremony to be held at the Pulp and Paper Research Center (CTP) in St. Martin d’Hères just outside Grenoble. The school has chosen four internationally-renowned scientists to be honored with this highly-selective distinction.
Michael F. Ashby of the University of Cambridge; Georges Bastin of the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium; Patrick Selvadurai of McGill University; and H.-S. Philip Wong of Stanford University will receive the degrees. Professor Wong—a graphene, NEMS, nanowire, and memory expert—has held a Nanosciences Foundation Chair of Excellence since 2007 and lectured at the MIGAS® summer school in 2008. He works regularly with Grenoble-based researchers at Leti, IMEP-LAHC, and STMicroelectronics.
