Undergraduate Jacob Akana receives J. Earl Frazier Memorial Scholarship

In March, the Pittsburgh section of the American Ceramic Society awarded the J. Earl Frazier Memorial Scholarship to Jacob Akana, a second-year student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University, in recognition of his research. 

This scholarship is awarded in memory of J. Earl Frazier, a past ACerS President and National Academy of Engineering member who was a globally respected advocate for the ceramics industry.

Under the guidance of Neamul H. Khansur, PhD, assistant professor at Case School of Engineering , Akana was selected for his work investigating structure-property relations in perovskite ceramics.
