- Congrats to Dr Jacopo Vialetto, who won the Young Investigator Training Programme (funded by ACRI, associazione di fondazioni e di casse di risparmio) at the INTERFACES conference in PULA (CA), Sardinia, Italy!
The programme funded 1 month research stay in the Dept. of Chemistry of the University of Florence (Italy), and allowed us to start an exciting collaboration on structural and rheological properties of microgels suspensions with Prof. Marco Laurati.
- Dr Miguel-Angel Fernandez-Rodriguez has been awarded a external page prize for the best poster presentation sponsored by the journal Advanced Science at the International Conference on Molecular Systems Engineering – ICMSE 2017 | Basel, Switzerland | 27-29 August 2017. Bravo Miguel!
- Prof. Lucio Isa is invited as a Keynote Speker at the conference “Liquids 2017: 10th Liquid Matter Conference”, July 17th-21st 2017, Ljubljana (Slovenia).
