I am honoured and humbled to receive this additional funding from European Research Council (ERC) to pursue our plans to translate our work together with AndreasMischok, Julian Butcher and Florian Le Roux.

Back in #Iceland after having done my first postdoc here with Kristján Leósson Háskóli Íslands 15 years ago. This time in summer, it's still daylight at 11pm! Looking forward to the #PEPS2024 #polariton meeting.

If you wanted to do computations but needed help, this is the paper for you, which has the solution for you in our software Digichem Digichem. Check out Oliver Lee's paper in Digital Discovery (http://dx.doi.org10.1039/D4DD00147H). St Andrews School of Chemistry GatherLab St_Andrews_OSC

Hanging out at a brew house with GatherLab Kuehne Lab @MurawskiLab Pauline and Sonny. Had a pretty tasty burger and shared these pretzel bites.

Gave my plenary talk on our #biophotonic tools for #mechanobiology and #force #imaging at the DGBM @matrixbiology meeting in #Regensburg this morning. Such a welcoming and creative community. Thanks for your warm welcome! Not a #FridayThe13th experience at all 🤗

Very sad to hear of the passing on 15 Oct of Wilson Sibbett CBE from University of St Andrews, ultrafast pioneer, mentor & dear friend to many. He won numerous honours from Optica Rank Prize Institute of Physics European Physical Society (EPS) The Royal Society Add your memories here rememberancebook.net/book/professor…

So excited to meet everyone at ICEL2024 Kyoto this week! Three days packed with an amazing program! (And of course looking forward to being in Japan again 🍜🍣😉.)

As a member of TIDE (RTG 2591) I had the opportunity to work in the research group of Prof. Chih-Jen Shih at ETH Zürich. Now I am going back to the GatherLab with new knowledge about nanofabrication and new inspiration for further projects. Thank you for the great time!

We are all very much enjoying a great conference here in Japan 👍

The next ICEL is in Namur, Belgium!!! Our next chair, Yoann Olivier, has us sold on Belgium chocolate and other delights already! See you there in 2026. #ICEL26 ICEL2024 Kyoto

Last meal in Kyoto was a gem of a place, having a relaxing lunch with GatherLab. I went for cold soba and tempura and Malte the grilled eel and udon in broth. Worth the trek. Handmade Udon & Soba Shōraku
