Chemical Journeys 2022, Turin – Italy
On Thursday, 22nd of December, Sara and Luca participated to “Chemical Journeys 2022”, an event that takes place every year at the University of Turin, Italy. In this context, they presented their journey into science from the Bachelor to the ongoing PhD to an audience of under graduated students, discussing their research topics as well as their experience studying across several countries in Europe and being involved in European Research Projects.
Farewell our friend!
After many years together and many papers, projects, awards, movements, Köttermann, and tears… Julio got the prestigious group leader Ramon y Cajal Fellowship that will end up in tenure Associate Professor at the University of La Rioja.
This is the kick-off of a new school generation that will bring us joy with excellent science!
All the best for the next step, my friend!
Happy Holidays and all the Best for 2023!!
We all enjoyed the great atmosphere that this family has created over the last 2 years! 2022 was an excellent year with many students (internships, master, bachelors,…), new members, papers, projects, awards, many babies, laughs/tears, and a lot of new things that we have all learnt from each other.
2023 will be awesome!
Science under the Christmas tree in Bari, Italy!
Sara and Luca participated to a conference in Bari (Italy, 19th and 20th December 2022), where they presented their research at “Chemistry under the Tree 2022” with oral contributions. The focus of the event has been on the green transition towards a more sustainable future. Sara presented her research topic discussing about Deep-red Bio-Phosphors for Highly Performing Low-Energy Bio-Hybrid Light-Emitting Diodes, while Luca presented Biogenic electrolyte for highly performing and self-stable light-emitting electrochemical cells, highlighting the effort of the Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials towards the development of sustainable bio-derived materials for optoelectronics.
New paper in Advanced Optical Materials!
Thanks to a fruitful internal collaboration with Dr. Daniel Van Opdenbosch and Yvonne Gmach, our work was finally dropped in Advanced Optical Materials! We fabricated a new highly white emissive host-guest hybrid material, and consequently a new white hybrid LED, from the encapsulation of the red-emissive rhodamine B into a blue-emissive metal organic framework (MOF).
Congrats to Youssef, Luca, Julio, as well as people from the Chair of Biogenic Polymers!
Aalto University visited us in Straubing
Always nice to welcome guests at our Chair who share our scientific passion.
After we visited Aalto University in October, they came to visit us !
The two days were packed with interesting presentations and discussions about future papers on many interconnected topics (protein crystals, protein-hybrids, aggregation induced emission, etc.). The first one will come soon. Keep an eye on us!
The holy paper out!
Many of us (Yanyan, Olivia, Youssef, and Luca) involved in a great collaboration with the groups of Victor (IMDEA Energy) and Mousumi (U. Szeged) to discover how critical water adsorption is for the photo-brightening effect in quasi 2D perovskite films for lighting applications.
Our Bio-HLEDs flew to Boston!
Sara brought Bio-HLEDs to Boston! She held an oral presentation at the Material Research Society Fall Meeting and Exhibit 2022, discussing about “All Bio-Phosphors for Highly Performing Low-Energy Bio-Hybrid Light-Emitting Diodes” in the context of symposium SB08 about Sustainable Functional Materials in Photonics, Electronics and Biology.
Another successful work with Bonifazi’s group!!
Thanks to the fruitful collaboration with University of Wien (David Bonifazi) and University of Valencia (Eugenio Coronado), a new family of S-Doped Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) led to the first mid-emitting PAH-based light-emitting electrochemical cells.
EIC Podcast: Vertical farming – will factory-grown food become the new normal?
It was a great pleasure to participate in this European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) sponsored discussion on vertical farming with new innovations as our Bio-LEDs developed in ARTIBLED.
Thank you Antonio Marco Pantaleo, Rubén Costa, Galina Gorshkova, Prashanth Makaram and Aoife Mangan Brite.
