Martin had a hand in a new paper in Analyst where again the bulk of the work was done by Kannan. He is very good at coming up with new materials that can be used as electrodes for various sensing applications. In this case the material is a cobalt oxide […]

Wojtek had another publication in the series of papers on ion-transfer for H2 and H2O2 generation at liquid|liquid interfaces. In this paper, we continue our studies on hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the Interface between Two Immiscible Electrolyte Solutions (ITIES). This time, we have generated hydrogen by using photoelectroactive redox […]
Emilia got a small grant (Miniatura) to develop a bio-analytical platform for multi-site electrochemical monitoring of species such as oxygen and glucose in a 3D cell culture system. 3D cell cultures are postulated to become a bridge between 2D in vitro models and experiments on animals. They provide more natural environment for […]
A few weeks ago, Emilia took part in a Summer School on Neurophysiology for Neural and Biomedical Engineering which was held in Zermatt, Switzerland. The summer school was jointly organized by three universities: Brown (USA), EPFL (Switzerland) and ETH (Switzerland). This six-day program had the goal to bring fundamental knowledge […]
We just had a paper published in Analytical Chemistry concerning generation-collection electrochemistry inside a rotating droplet. This is a continuation of the investigation of the rotating droplet as a small volume hydrodynamic system that was published last year in Electrochem. Commun. In this paper we generation-collection electrochemistry, meaning that we […]
Our group did very well in our institute’s “Young scientist” awards this year. The award is given to a number of PhD students and young doctors (under 35) for their publication record over the last three years. This year both Emilia and Wojtek were awarded in the doctor category and […]
A project for investigating different methods for neurotransmitter determination in forced convection systems was recently approved by the National Science Centre. Magdalena got financed for two years for exploration of the topic and investigation of a new method for simultaneous detection of neurotransmitters. The popular science description of the project […]
Martin has been involved in a an education project, under the name University for young explorers, financed by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education aimed towards kids in the age between 10 and 13. In a series of lectures and experiments some students and lecturers at the Institute of […]
Marta just had her first paper published. She prepared SERS-active substrates for a study using Raman spectroscopy to identify pathogens in food. Results described in the article (with a title so long that an abstract in not really needed) show that surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with principal component analysis […]
Dawid successfully defended his PhD thesis on Thursday, and today he was officially recognised as doctor of chemistry by our scientific council. Dawid’s thesis, with the title “Electrochemical processes at liquid|liquid interfaces in microfluidic systems” can be found here (pdf). The thesis received positive opinions from the two reviewers, Prof. […]
