After a rather long and thorough examination, my PhD student Anastasios Arvanitopoulos passed his viva with minor corrections on the 26th June 2020. Special thanks to the examiners, Dr Peter Gammon (University of Warwick), Prof Stephen Finney (University of Edinburgh) and Prof Alexander Chroneos (Coventry University) for conducting the examination. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the examination was done through MS Teams.

Congratulations to Anastasios for such an excellent job. His PhD thesis consists state-of-the-art reference point on 3C- Silicon Carbide research.
