Our week of celebrations continues with Ilya’s PhD defense. Ilya - who started as Prisca’s first PhD student in August 2015 - first presented his PhD project in front of family, friends and colleagues and afterwards was examined by Prisca, Jörg Betschinger, Matthias Lutolf and Nancy Hynes. He received a ‘Summa cum laude’ for his outstanding performance. The lab prepared a hat incorporating his love for mountains and technical details in form of a revolving imaging plate. The day ended with Ilya’s greatest passion - enjoying good beer!
