For the last two weeks we have had Dr Veronika Poltavets working with us. Veronika is an electrochemist from Dnipro in Ukraine who was forced to move because of the war. For the moment she is trying to get her bearings on what we do in the group, but she […]
A new book on this topic “Electronic Tongues Fundamentals and recent advances” edited by Flavio M Shimizu, Maria L Braunger and Antonio Riul Jr was just published by IOP Science. Karthika, Ela, Wojtek, Marcin and Emilia prepared chapter 3, which for the first time compares matrices ion-selective electrodes, ion-selective field […]
Emilia together with Wojtek Nogala and Aleksandra Kapuścińska-Bernatek after some struggle (the grant was first rejected and later accepted after appeal) got a grant to prepare 3 editions of summer school on practical aspects of electroanalysis During each edition 20 students from abroad and 5 students from Poland will visit our institute for a week […]
Our paper “Ion Transfer Voltammetry with an Electrochemical Pen” received a mention as one of the best publications from our institute during 2020. Good work everyone!
Another late announcement, but during the autumn Magda had a grant application approved for “Spectroelectrochemistry of Alzheimer’s disease – a study of a new potential therapeutic molecule”. In this project she will use spectroelectrochemical methods to study Cu(II)-β-amyloid complexes and the effect of copper(II) ion chelators, that can be potential […]
Martin just had a grant accepted from NCN for studying “Ion-transfer between immiscible liquids in a paper-based setup”. The project will continue the studies that were published in this paper. The main goal of the project is to investigate and try to overcome the factors limiting the sensitivity of paper-based […]
Maybe a little late news, but since the beginning of the academic year we have three new PhD students: Iga, Julia, and Wojtek. Iga Malicka is a graduate from Warsaw University and is currently working in the UpTurn-project and will be doing electrochemistry in microfluidic systems. Julia Maciejewska-Komorowska is a […]
This week we have a new postdoc in the group, Dr Suchanat Boonkaew, who also goes by her nickname Meen. She will be working in the UPTurn project concerning electrochemistry in microfluidic systems. Dr Boonkaew got her PhD from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, where she was working on miniaturized analytical […]
Ewelina and co-authors had a chapter accepted to the book “Surface Modified Nanomaterials for Applications in Catalysis: Fundamentals, Methods and Applications”, edited by Manoj Gawande, Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain, and Yusuke Yamauchi, and to be published by Elsevier some time during next year. A brief description of the chapter reads as: […]
