Congratulations to Emilia, who recently won the “Young Researchers IPC PAS” competition. The competition is judged in two categories: Ph.D. students and “young” research workers of the IPC PAS with a Ph.D. degree. A short list of candidates is created based on recent publications. This year, 10 winners were chosen in each category. Congratulations to…
Karthika’s publication, “Fabrication of ITO microelectrodes and electrode arrays using low-cost CO2 laser plotter,” has been recently accepted in Lab on a Chip. The article shows a cost-effective method based on CO2 laser plotter irradiation for preparing ITO microelectrodes. The work was supposed to be a side project but grew and grew till it became…
In July we had a short-term group member from the Warsaw University of Technology. Julia Wojnowska, a 3rd-year student of the Faculty of Chemistry, worked with Elżbieta on the characterization and application of low-cost ion-selective electrodes.They prepared sensor calibration curves based on two potassium-selective ionophores and performed selectivity studies. Ultimately, they constructed an array of…
Some time ago, prof. Jakub Szlachetko visited IChF to advertise the new synchrotron that was built in Krakow. Solaris was opened for users in 2018, and from that time onwards, it is getting a steadily growing influx of users. The seminar was just a prelude, as both institutes want to tighten collaboration and get more…
When the dust after e-Spark summer school didn’t yet have quite a time to settle on the lab benches, Steven and Emilia had already packed their bags and posters and traveled to Kraków to another summer school this time about Machine Learning. From the 26th of June to the 2nd of July, they heard plenty…
Between the 18th and 24th of June, for the third and last time in the framework of the NAWA Spinaker project, our department hosted 25 students from all over the world (16 nationalities!) during the e-SPARK summer school on experimental electrochemistry. At the beginning of 2022 scientific committee of the school was established with Emilia,…
On 12-13 of June, Warsaw Expo Centre held the annual Women in Tech Summit; as a Shesnnovation (a Perspektywy Foundation mentoring program) alumni, Emilia got a free pass for the summit. On Tuesday, Janina Bąk gave a lecture on the main stage, gathering, as always, the whole house. Janina is our bellowed statistician who, with…
Last month (May 9 – 12), Steven attended the ElecNano10 conference, the latest in a series of conferences focussed on electrochemistry at the nanoscale. Over the last decade, these conferences have featured prominent electrochemists presenting groundbreaking research in the field of nanoelectrochemistry. It was therefore exciting to have the opportunity to attend. This year, the…
On Tuesday, the 6th of June, Emilia had the chance to participate in Ai & Medtech CEE conference organized by AI w zdrowiu coalition. The conference gathered health sector government representatives, directors and heads of medical facilities, startups, and big names from pharma. The event was the first on such a scale in Central and…
On May 27th, we had another group integration, this time going for kayaks. By car or by train and foot, people arrived in Budy Grabskie, where Emilia has a tiny self-assembled cottage. We left the provisions for the after-kayaks barbecue, and went to Samice to start our trip on the water. According to the maps…
