Throughout their doctoral studies, Ilya, Daniel, and Lucie contributed to the group's ongoing research into advanced multifunctional, working closely with their supervisors and fellow group members on shared research questions. Their theses reflect not only individual scientific effort but also the collaborative, joint-research culture that defines the Advanced Multifunctional Ceramics group within the GlaCerHub project.

Over the course of their studies, all three researchers wereactive participants in the wider scientific community. Their work resulted in contributions to peer-reviewed journal publications, and each presented their research at international conferences, gaining valuable feedback and building connections with peers from across the field.

Research stays and internships at partner institutions further broadened their scientific perspective and strengthened GlaCerHub's international collaborative network.

We extend our sincere thanks to their supervisors for their dedicated guidance and mentorship throughout this journey, and we congratulate Ilya, Daniel, and Lucie onsuccessfully defending their PhD theses. We wish them every success in the next steps of their scientific careers.
