Pr. Louis de Smet, Wageningen University, Netherland

Electrochemically prepared Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for capacitive gas
sensing

 

Louis de Smet obtained his PhD degree from Wageningen University in 2006 on the topic of covalently attached organic monolayers on silicon surfaces. After postdoctoral work at the Ian Wark Research Institute (Adelaide, Australia) on biocompatible polymer coatings he was awarded an NWO Veni Grant to study molecular interactions involving polysaccharides. In 2007 he joined TU Delft (NL) as an Assistant Professor to teach Chemical Thermodynamics and to start a research group on organic coatings, mainly to detect volatile organic compounds and ions in water. In 2016 he was appointed as an Associate Professor at Wageningen University where he now teaches Analytical Chemistry. His research group is part of the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry and focuses on the preparation and characterization of organic materials for ion sensing, ion separations and ion recovery, for which he was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant. Since 2017 he also serves as a Senior Advisor to Wetsus (Leeuwarden, The Netherlands) on organic materials for sustainable water technology.

Dr. Frédéric KANOUFI, ITODYS, CNRS-Université Paris Diderot, Paris, France

In operando optical monitoring of the electrodeposition of
nanostructures

 

Frederic Kanoufi obtained his PhD degree in electrochemistry from the University of Paris Diderot in 1998. After spending one year as a postdoctoral fellow in A.J. Bard’s group at UT at Austin he was appointed by CNRS at ESPCI ParisTech. He is now CNRS Research Director at ITODYS laboratory at Université Paris Diderot. His research focuses on the development of electrochemical microscopies strategies (SECM and coupled electrochemistry and optical microscopies) for the inspection and modification of surfaces. Kanoufi is a distinguished member of the French Society of Chemitry (SCF), recipient of the 2006 Bronze medal of CNRS and of 2015 SCF Instrumentation Prize.

Pr. Tim Albrecht, School of Chemistry, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK

Probing structural diversity in molecular adlayers by tunnelling spectroscopy

 

Tim obtained his PhD from the MPI for Radiation Chemistry and TU Berlin in 2003, with a project on interfacial charge transfer processes in artificial and natural heme proteins, studied (mainly) by SERRS. During several visits to Jens Ulstrup's group at DTU, he got introduced to single-crystal electrochemistry and electrochemical STM, which he then applied as a postdoc in the same group to studying single-molecule charge transport, i.a. in small transition metal complexes. In 2006, he moved to Imperial College London, Department of Chemistry, to take up a lecturer position in Interfacial and Analytical Sciences. He was made Senior Lecturer in 2011 and then Reader in 2014. In 2017, he joined the School of Chemistry at Birmingham University as Chair of Physical Chemistry. His research interests include single-molecule charge transport in different environments, surface electrochemistry, single-molecule biosensing with nanopores and nanopipettes, and advanced data analysis tools such as Deep Learning.
