After 8 months at Aarhus University’s Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre (iNANO) in Denmark, from October 2024, Steven is (this time officially) again a member of the Sensor Arrays group. During his postdoc with Prof. Elena Ferapontova, Steven was learning about aptamers. Prof. Ferapontova’s research centres on the electrical and electrocatalytic properties of nucleic acids and enzymes…
On 18 September 2024 at 11.30 Karthika presented the results of her thesis entitled “ITO microelectrodes and microelectrode arrays for the analysis of cell cultures and biomedical applications” and answered questions from the three referees: Karthika became the first person to be formed under the Sensor Arrays group! Karthika comes from Kannur, Kerala, India. Emilia…
After months of preparation, on 28 August 2024, Emilia had the opportunity to present science at one of Sweden’s top concert halls. As part of the Baltic Sea Festival, organised by Swedish Radio, a Science Lab session was held. This is an outreach initiative in which six scientists from around the Baltic coast were paired…
From 23 to 27 September 2024, for the fourth time, our department hosted 13 students from all over the world during the e-SPARK Summer School on Experimental Electrochemistry. For the first time, we decided to offer compulsory courses (cell design and cyclic voltammetry) and elective courses. In addition to the courses from previous schools, we…
