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: […]
During the summer, a new paper appeared in ChemElectroChem in the memorial issue to Jeam-Michel Saveant. which looks at the influence the solvent has on generation of H2O2 at a liquid|liquid interface. This is the latest paper in a long series of articles in the collaboration between Opałło and Hubert […]
Finally we have a new group picture, this time together with Maria Skłodowska-Curie! Only two people were left from the previous picture, so an update was sorely needed. We also managed to combine the photo session with a much needed beer to cool down. The first time we’ve had a […]
We just published an article combining electrochemistry and interferometry in a microcavity. This work was done in collaboration with colleagues from Warsaw University of Technology and the National Institute of Telecommunications, who are responsible for the optics part of the work. The experiment is based on a microcavity in-line Mach-Zehnder […]
We are very happy that Emilia got funding for her project application to NCN for “Electrochemical analysis of neurobiologically relevant analytes”. She will be using micropipettes and -electrodes to simultaneously measure both dopamine and serotonin concentrations as well as the enzyme MMP-9 with the help of machine learning algorithms. The […]
Pillararenes were introduced as a novel class of macrocyclig host molecules in 2008 when 1,4-dimethoxypillar[5]arene (P5A) was synthesised. The pillararenes are similar in structure to the better known cyclodextrins or calixarenes and they can also form host-guest complexes with smallish molecules that can fit into their cavities. In a recent […]
Another paper has come out in the silver nanostructure series with our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering group and the Maćkowski group in Toruń. This time the focus is on silver island paths – basically SIFs deposited along lines on a substrate. The idea here, as the title indicates, is to use the contrast between fluorescence enhancement on […]
We are glad to share the first paper related to one of our research projects: “Microfluidic System for Solar Energy Conversion”. In this project, we seek to answer how to use renewable energy sources in the most efficient way to carry out a more eco-friendly chemical reaction? Following the current […]
