Students and faculty We are the most proud of the fact that we graduated two Ph.D. students this year: Lulwah Alkwai defended her dissertation on 2019-04-04 . Shortly after her defense, Lulwah headed back home in Saudi Arabia to resume her position at the University of Hail , now as an assistant professor. Mat Kelly defended his dissertation on 2019-05-07 . After selling his house in Portsmouth, Mat headed north to become an assistant professor at Drexel University and is recruiting his own Ph.D. students . Congratulations to @LulwahMA on a successful PhD defense! @WebSciDL @oducs pic.twitter
