First of its kind, GEM-ASEE Doctoral Engineering Research Showcase was supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and The National Science Foundation. Juliana presented her work on microgravity investigation of cement solidification.
NASA and its partners are holding a $2.5 million competition to build a 3-D printed habitat for deep space exploration, including the agency’s journey to Mars. The multi-phase challenge is designed to advance the construction technology needed to create sustainable housing solutions for Earth and beyond.
Phase 1 of the competition ran through Sept. 27, 2015. This phase, a $50,000 design competition, called on participants to develop state-of-the-art architectural concepts that take advantage of the unique capabilities 3-D printing offers. The top 30 submissions were judged, and prize money was awarded at the 2015 World Maker Faire in New York. Phase 2 is now open and challenges competitors to demonstrate a recycling system that can create structural components using terrestrial and space-based materials and recyclables. Phase 3, which is currently under development, will focus on fabrication of complete habitats and will follow completion of Phase 2. Maryam received two awards:
- Harry G. Miller Fellowship in Engineering, and - Iranian American Academic and Professionals (IAAP) award. Congratulations! The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) provide grants for all stages of researchers’ careers and encourage transnational, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. The MSCA enable research-focused organizations (universities, research centres, and companies) to host talented foreign researchers and to create strategic partnerships with leading institutions worldwide.

She became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win the award in two different fields (physics and chemistry). Maria Skłodowska Curie (www.staff.amu.edu.pl)
