Congratulations to award recipient Youngjin HamThe ECS Korea Section Student Award was established in 2005 to recognize a Korean university PhD student’s academic accomplishments in any area of science or engineering in which electrochemical and/or solid state science and technology is the central consideration. The winner receives a US $500 prize. Dr. Ham joins a distinguished list of ECS Korea Section Student Award winners.
Apply today to serve as a Student Ambassador at the 241st ECS Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada, from May 29-June 2, 2022. Students who volunteer as ambassadors work closely with ECS staff and meet many fellow ECS members and meeting attendees.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to network and engage with meeting attendees, symposium organizers, and ECS staff! Multilingual speakers are highly encouraged to apply! (more…)
The ECS Montréal Student Chapter is delighted to invite you to the 11th Annual ECS Montreal Student Chapter Symposium. This yearly event attracts over 100 students, professors, researchers, and industry scientists to explore topics related to electrochemical and solid state science research. (more…)
ECS champions members and their researchWhen the rock group Queen sang “We are the champions of the world,” they could have been describing ECS members.
“Science and scientists are absolutely vital to solving health issues and climate change—the grand challenges confronting society. The ECS community—scientists and engineers, students and postdocs, young and old minds—has a great role to play in solving these problems.”

ECS empowers researchers at the forefront of discoveryMarm Dixit was a grad student at the 236th ECS Meeting in Atlanta, GA. John Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino had just won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing lithium ion batteries.
“A couple of my friends and I were getting coffee. Stan (Whittingham) was in line in front of us. So for the 15 minutes, till we got our coffee, we discussed batteries with the Nobel laureate. That’s pretty damn awesome and really fascinating,” said Marm who is now Weinberg Distinguished Staff Fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. (more…)
Carolyn Graverson, graduate student, Rice University
“What’s cool about ECS meetings is that it’s all about the science. It doesn’t matter where you come from or who’s presenting. Meeting participants always recognize quality and respect you for your work,” says Carolyn Graverson, graduate student, Rice University.
ECS members are all winners! We promise our members to:
Benefit from connecting with your community“I became a member of ECS because it lets me connect to people beyond the confines of my lab or even my campus or this region,” says Tanner Hamann from the University of Maryland.
ECS membership connects you to the electrochemical community: (more…)
Dr. Thalia Standish
Congratulations to Thalia Standish of the University of Western Ontario for receiving the 2021 ECS Corrosion Division Morris Cohen Graduate Student Award. Each year, the division recognizes and rewards outstanding graduate research in the field of corrosion science and/or engineering. Such early recognition of highly qualified corrosion scientists and/or engineers is intended to encourage especially promising researchers to remain active in the field after their graduate research is completed.
Thalia Standish is a Research Scientist at Surface Science Western, where she conducts material analyses to advance academic research and help solve industrial problems. She received her PhD in Chemistry from Western University in 2019. Her graduate research focused on evaluating the galvanic corrosion behavior of copper-coated carbon steel for used nuclear fuel containers, using a combination of electrochemical techniques, x-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and surface analytical techniques. Dr. Standish is currently developing expertise in Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermal analysis techniques, focusing on polymeric materials in particular.
