SafeWax Field Trials

Leading the SafeWax project is both a responsibility and a privilege. It was truly exciting to meet all the SafeWax partners and discuss the project’s progress in Bologna. Together, we were fortunate to participate in the field trials at the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna) experimental fields and see SafeWax in action. This lab-to-field transition marks a significant milestone as SafeWax. The experiments are ongoing, and we are now testing the long-term efficacy of SafeWax on grapevines. Many thanks to the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna) team for their dedication and excellent organization in making these trials possible!

Future is bright!

IMEC20 Recap

Four posters and two talks! Our students presented their research on bio-inspired functional materials. A special moment was the talk by Dr. Arad Lang, our former PhD student and now a postdoc at Cambridge Uni, who shared his groundbreaking work. Proud of the whole team!

Goodbye, Lucas!

Today, after two productive years as a postdoc in our group, we bid farewell to our dear colleague and friend, Lucas Kuhrts, who has contributed immensely to our lab. Lucas’s dedication, hard work, and passion for research have left a lasting mark on our team and our projects.

Throughout his time here, Lucas has not only made significant scientific contributions but has also been a source of support, inspiration, and collaboration for everyone in the lab. His enthusiasm for tackling challenges and his willingness to share knowledge have made him an invaluable part of our team.

As Lucas embarks on his next journey, we wish him all the success in the world. While it’s hard to say goodbye, we are excited to see the incredible work he will continue to do in the future.

Thank you, Lucas, for everything you have brought to our lab. You will be greatly missed, but we know this is just the beginning of many more great accomplishments ahead!

Good luck, and stay in touch!
