Laboratory Internship

Neha Venkatesh Rangam, NaMeS PhD student, paricipated in the secondment to the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech), Japan. She had possibility work in Kawasaki & Ishii's Laboratory. The main goal of her project was to synthesize the carbon nanomaterials composite for the research project ‘Electron spectroscopy of novel nanocarbon systems for applications in medicine’.

Kumar Sarang, NaMeS Ph.D student, went for a two months research internship at Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS), Leipzig under ERASMUS Plus program cofinanced by NaMeS project. The main objective of the mobility was to learn and explore the use of technique of laser flash photolysis in the field of atmospheric chemistry.

Gabriel Morgado, NaMeS PhD student, participated in the secondment to the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). The objective of the secondment was twofold. First, Gabriel and research team in Paris completed first project on the scaling of Turing patterns.

Gabriel Rochinha Morgado, NaMeS PhD student, visited Laboratoire de Physique Theorique de la Matiere Condensee to perform research activity with the partner supervisor of the PhD program. These five days of intensive work have been helpful for the progress of the project.

Natalia Olejnik-Fehér, NaMeS PhD student, paricipated in the secondment to the Institute for Nanoscience and Cryogenics, Grenoble. The main goals of her project are: (i) systematic investigations on surface characterization as well as density and distribution of organic ligands and/or inorganic functional groups on the surface of bare and ligand-coated ZnO NCs with applications of various analytical techniques

Between 21st and 24th of November 2018 Natalia Olejnik-Fehér spent time working at  UCCS-UG SF Lille, where she was granted access to 800 MHz solid-state spectrometer in frames of IR-RMN infrastructure that is a proposal-based system to grant access to use high-field instruments in France.

Rashmi Runjhun, NaMeS PhD student, paricipated in the secondment to the Institut Des Sciences Et Ingénierie Chimiques, Laboratory Of Photonics and Interfaces. She provided her research work in the distinguished lab of Prof. Michael Graetzel at EPFL Switzerland.

Wassie Mersha Takele visited the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Tuebingen. Specifically, he attained a laboratory internship at the Department of Chemical Nanospectroscopy of the institute.

Richard Loffler, NaMeS PhD student, participated in the study visit at the University of Trento where he will be conducting his secondment next year. The main goal was to study the effects of Oil red O dye on the interfacial tension between oil and water as well as the change of waters surface tension when it is exposed to camphor vapour.

Yu-Ting Kao, NaMeS PhD student, participated in the study visit at the University of Freiburg. The purpose of this trip was trouble shooting for her experiment and get some practical experiences about nucleic acid amplification from Hahn Schickard.
