Clement defends his PhD
Clement was awarded his PhD after successfully completing the Coronavirus-proof public defense of his thesis entitled "Liquid handling in 3D-printed autonomous microfluidics."

3 fresh PhDs join the crew!

3 fresh PhDs join the crew!
Looks like the pandemic is not stopping our growth as we welcome three fresh PhDs today! Jonas, Margot, and Jorid all obtained their Master in Bioscience Engineering at KU Leuven and were former Master's thesis students at the Ameloot Group. They will be working on various projects on 3D-printing for point-of-care diagnostics and MOF-based sensors for their doctoral research. While the on-boarding activity is virtual for now, we are all excited to (physically) welcome them to the crew very soon!

Alex represents Flanders in ESOF2020
Alex is one of the 13 researchers selected by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) to represent the region in the EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) this year. ESOF is a biennial, pan-European, general science conference dedicated to scientific research and innovation. Attended by renowned scientists from all over the world, ESOF brings together 4,500 leading researchers, innovators, government bodies, journalists, and educators from over 90 countries, to discuss current and future breakthroughs in contemporary science.

Mikhail @ ALD2020 Student Awards
Mikhail wins a spot in the list of candidates vying for the ALD student awards at the 20th International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD2020). In collaboration with imec and Heidelberg Instruments Nano in Switzerland, Mikhail will present his work entitled, "Resistless Lithography Based on Local Surface Modification of Halogenated Amorphous Carbon".

MOF-CVD at SPME debuts @ Talanta!

MOF-CVD at SPME debuts @ Talanta!
Our paper entitled, *"Solid-phase microextraction coatings based on the metal-organic framework ZIF-8: Ensuring stable and reusable fibers"* led by our collaborators from Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) in Tenerife is now published in Talanta. Supervised by Prof. Veronica Pino, a part of this work is carried out in the Ameloot Group's lab in the context of Priss' short stay in Leuven. In this project, highly stable ZIF-8 coatings for SPME fibers prepared by chemical vapor deposition of MOF (MOF-CVD). The preparation mode ensured SPME fibers with high inter-batch reproducibility while used in DI-SPME-GC-FID. These MOF fibers performed successfully for target hydrocarbons and personal care products and its performance was compared to that of commercial SPME coatings.
