Prof. Mika was interviewed by Laura Niemi and Outi Nurmela for University of Turku’s Vau, mikä vaikutus! (Wow, what an impact!) podcast. It is now available on Soundcloud (only in Finnish):
IMC’s alumnus Teppo Kreivilä received a €750 award for the quality of his master’s thesis from the Pentti Kosonen fund, which is managed by the Turku University Foundation. Way to go, Teppo!
Last Friday was the annual EXACTUS seminar, where soon-to-defend Doctoral Researchers of the Doctoral Programme in Exact Sciences (EXACTUS) give a presentation on the topic of their dissertation. This year, the prize for the best talk went to Hannah with her topic “Tuning Photochromic Sodalites Across The Visible Spectrum”. Congratulations Hannah!
Happy International Workers’ Day 2022! Hauskaa vappua!
Prof. Mika’s interview can be found on pages 48–49 of the latest Kemia magazine. The story is part of the magazine’s “3 x uutta tutkimuksessa” (“3 x news in research”) series, where experts tell what is fascinating right now. You can get the magazine delivered to your home by joining the Chemist Club of Turku.
In the Kemian kevät event’s evening party on last Friday, IMC’s students received two wonderful prizes.
Our MSc student Sinna Lampinen received an encouragement award for commendable work, growing into an expert and for her presentation on the production and properties of manganese hackmanite. The award was issued by the Department of Chemistry.
Likewise, MSc student Nina Rehnberg won the Chemistry Club of Turku’s (Turun Kemistikerho) board’s vote for the best poster, and the value of this award named after Adj. Prof. Antti Vesala is 250 €. Nina’s poster was about β spodumene’s modification: luminescence and composition.
Well done Sinna and Nina!
Natalia, Pinja, Nina, and Sinna presented the results of their MSc work at the Kemian kevät poster session held today. Remember that the voting for the best posters is ongoing on the 5th floor of Aurum until Friday at 13:00!
IMC wishes you a happy Easter!
Sami’s article about X-ray-induced effects in hackmanites just received a certificate from Wiley: the article was a top downloaded article in Advanced Optical Materials.
