I am happy and honored to receive this award. The two winning papers were perspectives on two of the main fields I have worked in and included several case studies from our group that serve as examples of an approach that was increasingly used during my time there. As such, the award also feels like a recognition of our work and achievements over the years.
| | | | | Dr. Ymir Kalmann Frodason recently joined the Research Council of Norway as a Senior Advisor in the department of Energy and Energy Transition, where he is responsible for the thematic area of hydrogen and hydrogen-related energy carriers. Before that, he spent ten years in the semiconductor physics group at the University of Oslo, where he completed both his MSc in "Materials, Energy and Nanotechnology" and his Ph.D. on the topic "Hybrid Functional Investigations on Point Defects in ZnO and βGa2O3", followed by four years in a researcher position." |

It's really wonderful to have my research recognised in this way, particularly by the Journal of Applied Physics, with its long, proud history of publishing seminal papers on applications of physics to real-world systems. To me, this journal represents an important forum where the materials simulation community can connect with those working on materials experimentally. I am honoured to have had my paper selected for this award.

|
| | | Dr. Christopher Woodgate is a theoretical physicist and computational materials scientist. He uses a range of simulation tools across length scales to study various aspects of the physics of technologically relevant materials. He is particularly interested in modelling alloys and magnetic materials using 'first-principles' electronic structure calculations, i.e. calculations in which there are no free or empirically determined parameters. From these calculations, he is able to provide predictions of materials properties for applications, as well as to elucidate the origins of various phenomena in terms of the underlying physics. He studied for his Ph.D. at the University of Warwick, where he was part of the interdisciplinary Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogenous Systems, based in the Department of Physics. In 2024, he moved to the School of Physics at the University of Bristol to take up a UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Doctoral Prize Fellowship, which is an independent postdoctoral research fellowship enabling him to pursue a range of research interests in collaboration with partners both at Bristol and externally. |

Receiving the Journal of Applied Physics Best Paper Award for Early Career Investigators means a lot to me. It's a great recognition of my research and shows that my work is making a valuable contribution to the field. It gives me more confidence to keep exploring new ideas in 3D printing and biomedical engineering. This award also encourages me to keep learning, growing, and supporting other young researchers, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds in science and engineering.
| | | | | Dr. Bin Zhang is a Lecturer in Additive Manufacturing in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Brunel University London. She obtained her Ph.D. from University College London, focusing on 3D printing drug-loaded biocomposite bone tissue scaffolds. Dr. Zhang was a visiting scholar at UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State University in the USA, where she researched patterned surfaces with controllable drug doses and fabricated microneedle sensors using 3D printing. Before joining Brunel, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of East Anglia and the University of Hertfordshire, specializing in 3D printing of micro medical devices, drug-loaded devices, and medical training models. |

SUBMIT FOR THE 2025 COLLECTION AND AWARD |
To highlight the astounding work of early career principal investigators, Journal of Applied Physics is proud to continue the Early Career Investigator Selection in 2025. All 2025 publications with eligible principal investigators will be reviewed by the selection committee for inclusion in the Early Career Investigator Selection. |
|
Submit for consideration through the online submission system. During submission, the submitting author should answer "Yes" to the question of eligibility of the primary principal investigator, identify which author is the principal investigator, report the date of their Ph.D. defense, and briefly describe the author's role as principal investigator.
The primary principal investigator must be within 10 years of their Ph.D. defense date (not including career breaks such as family or medical leave) upon completion of the manuscript submission. The principal investigator is primarily responsible for the origination of the project, for its overall direction, and for leading the interpretation of the results. |
Zero-Embargo Access Without Barriers |
We believe there has never been a more important time to remove barriers to sharing scientific knowledge. AIP Publishing's liberal green open access policy ensures that researchers can make their accepted manuscripts freely available immediately — with no embargo and no fees. It's a simple, effective way to comply with NIH and other funder public access requirements and expand the reach of your work.
This is just one of the ways AIP Publishing lives up to the promise we made to the global research community when we joined with the American Physical Society and IOP Publishing to form Purpose-Led Publishing — a coalition committed to the simple idea that science is our only shareholder. |
