Congratulations to Arianna Nigro for a brilliant defense
With brilliance, persistance, and a deep sense of commitment, Arianna Nigro successfully defended her PhD with highest honors. A proud moment for our group and for her as one of Basel's first growers.
It is with great joy and pride that we celebrate the successful PhD defense of Arianna Nigro, who received the highest academic distinction: summa cum laude. Her achievement is a testament not only to her scientific excellence, but also to her dedication, integrity, and sharp intuition in research.
Arianna Nigro has been with us from the very beginning, as one out of two of Basel's first growers, and has played a key role in laying the foundation for our group's efforts in epitaxial thin film growth. Her thoughtful insights, quiet determination, and generous spirit have left a deep impression on us all.
On a personal note, Arianna Nigro is a very dear friend, and seeing her complete this chapter with such grace and brilliance has been moving and inspiring. Her contribution reaches far beyond her thesis, and we’re all better for having had her with us on this journey.
Congratulations, Arianna Nigro to your well deserved summa cum laude!
