The  DMREF  research  work,  led  by  Dr.  Nina Andrejevic,  a  female  material  scientist  in  Mingda  Li’s group,    was  a  critical  component  in  Nina’s  Doctoral Thesis,    titled    “Machine    Learning-Augmented Spectroscopies for Intelligent Materials Design”.

The thesis was subsequently selected and published by  Springer  as  part  of  the  Springer  Theses  series  in 2022, in “Recognizing Outstanding PhD Research.”

Nina was also supported by NSF’s Graduate Research Fellowships  Program  (GRFP).  Greatly  indebted  to  NSF support,  Nina  is  continuing  her  research  through  a competitive  postdoctoral  fellowship  at Argonne  National Laboratory.
