2022 Annual Postdoctoral Research Symposium awardees
On March 25, 2022, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs partnered with the Office of Graduate Studies and the Statewide Conference of the Florida Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (FL-AGEP) to bring together researchers from all over campus to present their work at a poster competition. Postdoctoral scholars had the opportunity to present the scope and significance of their research in a concise and engaging manner without technical jargon.
The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is proud to announce the winners of the 2022 Annual Postdoctoral Research Symposium, each of whom received a travel award:
First Place: Sara Hackett, Ph.D.

My research interests focus on understanding the surface and interface, electronic, and magnetic properties of a 2D materials with the focus on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). These materials' exciting properties that very often change with the thickness inspired me to grow and study films as thin as a monolayer. In the characterization process of the films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) I am using various in- and ex-situ techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), as well as vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). My long experience and expertise in thin films' growth and surface characterization recently inspired me to study the growth dynamics of ultra-thin self-intercalated compounds, which are a new and emerging field in the research. Better understanding and the controlled growth of these rather complex films would make these materials even more exciting for electronics applications.
2021-2022 APS Postdoctoral Fellowship
Postdoctoral scholar, Ruslan Bohovyk was awareded a fellowship from the American Physiological Society (APS); "In efforts to enhance the benefits of our early-career members and to develop careers in physiological research worldwide, APS created the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. The program will provide funding to five fellows for one year.
