Laboratory Internship

Richard Loffler participated in the secondment at the Department of cellular, computational and integrative biology (CIBIO) at the University of Trento. There he could take advantage of the local equipment and personnel to start a new project related to his thesis, regarding the study of crowding behavior of self-propelled droplets

Ashmita Bose participated in the secondment at the University of Jena, Germany. She mainly trained and taught her chemical system with new datasets. Her attention was focused on the classification of the points of the two intertwined Spiral.

Horacio Serna has worked at Institute of Physical Chemistry “Rocasolano” (secondment institution) from 02.10.2019. to 11.03.2020. The main goal was to study the dynamic aspects of systems with competing interactions both in bulk and under confinement in simple geometries.

Richard Löffler has visited two universities, at Hiroshima and Chiba. During his visit from the 24^th of February to the 8^th of March at Hiroshima University he met with Prof. Shinpei Tanaka to do a lot of experimental work on their current project, investigating the self-motion of Ethyl Salycilate droplets on a soap solution.

Horacio Serna, NaMeS PhD student, visited the University of Santiago de Compostela. He was invited to give a talk in the Non linear Physics Group, headed by Prof. Alberto Perez Munuzuri, in the University  od Santiago de Compostela. 

Ayesha Khan, NaMeS PhD student, participated in the secondment at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Leipzig University. During her secondments she has prepared TiO2/Chitosan: lignin photocatalyst using wet impregnation technique with subsequent hydrothermal treatment method.

Dusan Mrdenovic participated in the secondment at the University of Guelph, Canada. Research at secondment institution was a continuation of studying the mechanism of interaction between amyloid β (Aβ) peptide and model cell membrane, an event relevant to understand pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. 

From 1st to 29th of December, 2019, Ying Zhou had a lab visit at prof. Huck’s group, Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radbound University, the Netherlands. The main purpose of her trip was to gain theoretic knowledge and practical experiences of microfluidic technologies.

Natalia Olejnik-Fehér, NaMeS PhD student, participated in the study visit at the Institute for Nanoscience and Cryogenics in Grenoble, France. The 3-weeks long trip to Grenoble had a dual focus. Firstly, she planned a series of experiments to close two different projects, and secondly discussions were needed the finish her first paper draft as well as to start working on new one, both related to the two experimental projects.

Kumar Sarang, NaMeS PhD student in Environmental Chemistry Group went along with his supervisor - Rafał Szmigielski, for a one week visit to National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The main objective of the visit was to discuss new research ideas and exchange the technical knowledge related to the field of atmospheric chemistry to boost the future collaboration with Slovenian partner institute i.e. NIC.
