„At FRASCAL, we break things – but only in theory,” explains the FRASCAL spokesperson with a wink, as the graduate college warmly welcomes prospective PhD candidates.

Indeed, FRASCAL will soon have the pleasure of welcoming a new cohort of PhD students from January onward. On September 12th, shortlisted candidates had the opportunity to present their master thesis to the FRASCAL research team. Presentations covered a broad field from „Cracks & Growth: Fracture Mechanics and Life“ to „Fracture in Rocks: From Single Grains to Seismic Scale“.

Throughout the day, engaging discussions followed each presentation, and continued during networking coffee and lunch breaks.

As a preview of what’s ahead, Felix Weber, Marie Laurien, and Paras Kumas introduced the incoming PhD students to the projects of previous cohorts. They not only shared key findings from past research but also highlighted some of the gaps the new cohort will have to resolve. How exciting!
