We are proud to celebrate Dr. Joy-anne Najwa Oliver for successfully defending her doctoral dissertation titled
“Investigating the Effect of Boron Oxide Substitution in the 6P55 Glass Composition for Designing an Appropriate Bioactive Coating for Ti6Al4V: Melt-Quench Synthesis and Computational, Thermal, and Biological Analysis.”
Joy-anne’s research provides valuable insights into the development of boron-modified bioactive glasses for biomedical coatings, advancing the design of materials that can enhance the biocompatibility and performance of titanium-based implants.
Her work was co-advised by Dr. Melanie Ecker (Department of Biomedical Engineering) and Dr. Jincheng Du (Department of Materials Science and Engineering). This interdisciplinary collaboration highlights the strength of UNT’s research community in connecting materials science and biomedical innovation.
Congratulations, Dr. Oliver, on this incredible achievement and for becoming the third Ph.D. graduate from the Ecker Lab! We can’t wait to see where your talents and passion for research will take you next.
