New faces around

Posted on August 23, 2016 by Emilia Palo

For the next ten weeks we have the pleasure to host Mikael (left pic), a laboratory intern, from Turku Vocational Institute. Hopefully he will find the time spent with us useful!

Pasi (right pic) has also been with us for the summer and will be remaining at least for the beginning of autumn. We’ll keep our fingers crossed that he can stay with us longer, maybe even for PhD studies!

See us in conferences next week

Posted on May 17, 2016 by Emilia Palo

You can spot us in two conferences next week.

Emilia and Tero are participating in the 1st Conference and Spring School on Properties, Design and Applications of Upconverting Nanomaterials (UPCON) in Wroclaw, Poland on 23-27.5. with the topics “Sensitising Up-Conversion Materials with Layer-by-Layer Method” and “Extensive Study of NaYF₄:Yb³⁺,R³⁺ Up-Conversion Luminescence Materials”. Come see their posters on Tuesday.

Mika is participating in Biosensors 2016 in Gothenburg, Sweden on 25-27.5. and will be presenting his topic “Using Synthetic Hackmanites as Sensors of Solar UV radiation” on Friday afternoon so go check him there!

Come see us at Kemian kevät ’16

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Emilia Palo

“Kemian kevät ’16 – Innovaatioiden alkulähteillä” which is a seminar event where BSc and MSc students present their thesis topics is held in Arcanum on 26.-28.4.2016. This year also PhD students give a brief introduction about their research topics.

Inorganic materials chemistry has plenary lection on Thursday afternoon when our students will have their presentations – also as an added bonus Emilia and Minnea will have their Science Slam presentations on Tuesday.
