June 2022
- On June 3rd, we participated in the Poznan Science and Art Festival. The visitors took part in the workshop on luminescence and its role in criminology. They had a chance to become photochemists and conduct photochemicak experiments.
The event was organized by Prof. Anna Lewandowska-Andrałojć, Dr Marta Ignasiak-Kciuk, Dr Piotr Filipiak, Msc Kamil Frąckowiak and Msc Katarzyna Grzyb.
May 2022
- We hosted professor Sylwia Ptasińska from The Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory (USA). The visiting professor gave two lectures: at the Department of Chemistry about „Foundations of non-thermal plasmas for biochemical applications” and at the Center for Advanced Technology titled „Low energy electrons-induced damage to biomolecules.”
After hard work we spent free time at Kórnik Arboretum and the Poznan Old Town.
Professor’s visit was funded by the „Initiative of Excellence – Research University” Project (ID-UB):
