The group grows! ✨We would like to give a warm welcome to our newest team members to the ClusCat Lab.
→ Wojciech Moryl, from the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology.
→ Tiffaine Estrine, from the Chimie ParisTech – PSL.
Wishing you both a wonderful stay with us!

We participated yesterday in the 6th FemChem Scientific Workshop. Exciting talks like the one presented by our Daniela Klampf & poster presentations from the @chemistry-tuw.bsky.social including those of Sebastian Mößlacher, Wojtek Moryl and Irmak Nor Dönel, who won the first prize. Great job!👏

Last week our colleague Sebastian Mößlacher was visiting the Ångström Institute (Uppsala University) and doing some experiments with Jacinto Sá and Neda Irannejad on the capabilities of our clusters in electrocatalysis regarding oxidation reaction. Thanks for the warm welcome and the great teamwork!

Great start for our new FFG project!
@nbarrabes.bsky.social and Daniela Klampf will work together with Prof. Aleix Comas-Vives and Prof. Richard Wilhelm
to understand the effect of ion beams on fostering catalytic activity, combining ion beams, synthesis and theory. Strong team for the next year!
