On July 18, Elżbieta, Karthika, and Emilia traveled to Gdańsk University of Technology for a knowledge transfer meeting organized by prof. Jacek Ryl and the local student science club RedOX, affiliated with the ECS. During the meeting, Elżbieta presented various methods our group has explored for fabricating electrodes for 3D cell cultures. She received valuable…
From 15th to 18th of April 2024 the group had a chance to learn how to perform XAS measurements at the SOLARIS synchrotron. As it was our first experiment in such a lab and it was recommended to have 2 people per shift we were joined by Kasia Dusiło from a neighbour group at the…
Thanks to funding from NAWA/STER iWARSAW4PhD project for 2022-2024 during January Elżbieta visited Cecilia de Carvalho Castro e Silva’s lab in Mackenzie Institute for Research in Graphene and Nanotechnologies. Elżbieta’s work was aimed at fabrication of electrode arrays using Mackgraphe clean room facilities. Mackgraphe is renowned for its multidisciplinary installation with emphasis on nanoelectronics, microelectronics…
Together with 15 other PhD students from our institute Karthika went to the Dornburg Doctoral Seminar hosted by the Leibniz-Institut für Photonische Technologien in Thuringia from 18 to 21 March. Karthika was chosen for an oral presentation and talked about “Low-cost ITO microelectrodes for biosensing using Prussian blue analogues as mediators”. The presentation was well…
We are super happy to announce that our proposal, “Unravelling the electronic and geometric structure of metal-organic coordination polymeric materials for photo-assisted proton-coupled electron transfer reactions in energy conversion devices”, submitted to the Autumn 2023 Call at SOLARIS, has been accepted!We will work six shifts at the PIRX (Premiere InstRument for Xas) beamline to characterize…
Emilia’s dream is coming true as she was chosen to participate in an Art&Science project organized by Swedish Radio Concert Hall Berwaldhallen. During the project, she will work with a composer, Luis Fernando Amaya, who will write a musical piece about electronic tongues! Emilia’s talk about her bellowed technology will be a part of the…
Dr Nako Nakatsuka from the Institute for Biomedical Engineering, ETH Zürich, Switzerland, visited the institute on the 26th of October, giving a talk in the Advanced Lecture on Bio-inspired Chemistry series of the Doctoral School. After the talk, she visited a few labs, including ours. This allowed us to exchange ideas, and Dr Nakatsuka was…
Ela secured funding for a 1-Month Research Visit from NAWA/STER iWARSAW4PhD project for 2022-2024. The competition was aimed at students of the 4th to 6th semester of the Warsaw-4-PhD school who, during their PhD studies, have authored an article published or accepted for publication in a JCR-indexed scientific journal.Ela chose the Mackenzie Institute for Research…
At the beginning of December, Emilia and other group leaders from the IPC PAS visited the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology in Jena. The bus trip was organized to foster collaboration between the institutes and provide a chance to pursue EU funding together. With so many scientists from both institutes presenting, the talks were divided…
At the end of November, Emilia had the chance to visit Prof. Martin Witt and give a talk to the group of Prof. Thomas Humell, both working at the Interdisciplinary Center “Smell & Taste”, University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus in Dresden. The institute is a reference centre for the EU on smell and taste.Emilia had…
