PhD defense Huygen Jöbsis: Track and Trace: Unravelling the formation mechanism and charge carrier dynamics in AgBi-elpasolites

Congratulations to Dr. Huygen Jöbsis for an Excellent PhD Defense. Huygen has successfully defended his PhD thesis, supervised by Prof. Bert Weckhuysen, prof. dr. Eelco Vogt, and dr. Eline Hutter. In his thesis, Huygen investigated the photoconversion performance of halide-elpasolite semiconductors, which are proposed as more stable and less-toxic alternatives to lead-halide perovskites. His research

Congratulations to Dr. Sander Vonk for an Excellent PhD Defense. Sander has successfully defended his PhD thesis, supervised by Prof. dr. Alfons van Blaaderen Prof. dr. Bert Weckhuysen, and dr. Freddy Rabouw. In his thesis, Sander explored luminescent nanomaterials, focusing on semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and lanthanide-doped nanocrystals (NCs) to advance renewable energy technologies. He

PhD defense Christia Jabbour: Synthesis, Characterization, and Shaping of UiO-67 Metal-Organic Frameworks

Congratulations to Dr. Christia Jabbour for an Excellent PhD Defense. Christia has successfully defended her PhD thesis, supervised by Prof. Bert Weckhuysen, dr. Florian Meirer, and dr. Laurens Mandemaker. In her thesis, Christia investigated the flexibility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), focusing on their adaptable synthesis and shaping techniques. Her research explored how these dynamic framework
