LPDC Journal Club #9 Exciting eco-friendly polymer development! Prof. Geoff Coates from CornellChemistry has produced a recyclable 1000+kDa UHMW pDXL with excellent physical properties similar to UHMWPE, with a metal free process Learn more in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jaβ¦

Throwback to a great evening! Our Farzaneh successfully defended her thesis focusing on liquid-phase ALD application. EPFL Chemistry We will miss you!! Good luck with the rest of your carrier !


I was humbled to talk yesterday at #CSC2023 about my journey as a gay person in Chemistry. We are underrepresented and less retained in STEM, but things are changing! A lot of it thanks for the work of allies such as Working for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity π³οΈβπ


What an inspiring week for LPDC! π Part of the team had the chance to present their work at the #biobased #materials Gordon Research Conference in Maine. Thanks to the chairs for the great organisation URD ABI Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) And special congrats to Marie for the best poster prize !


Congrats to our #BikeToWork team with a total of 1155km ! EPFL Chemistry Sustainability in and outside the lab!




I'm honored to represent the Canadian scientific community π¨π¦ at EPFL π¨π as a holder of the #Banting post-doctoral fellowship. Thanks for all the support Audrey Moores and Jeremy Luterbacher π Looking forward to sharing the cool nanoscience I've been doing at Laboratory of Sustainable and Catalytic Processing π§ͺ


Great to see how well-represented our #NCCRCatalysis team was at Swiss Chemical Society #SCSFall2023 π§βπ¬Β πCongrats toΒ Thomas Moragues (deMello Group Javier Perez-Ramirez), Anastasiia Komarova (Laboratory of Sustainable and Catalytic Processing), & Jeff Guo (LIAC at EPFL) for winning Best & Runner-up (x2) Presentation Awards! π
